Newer homes in the Rolling Brook subdivision

West Deptford Township features a diverse blend of modern and traditional housing. Prospective buyers will find many ranch styles, cape cods and split levels from the mid-20th century that typically sport 1,500 square feet and three bedrooms. The area further developed in the 1990s with the addition of subdivisions like Rolling Brook. Newer subdivisions boast bigger houses at heftier price tags, often around 2,500 square feet for about $550,000. Homes cost anywhere between $200,000 and $550,000. Other housing options include luxury condominiums like the Cove at Riverwinds. While residents commonly enjoy a walk along the river, they also peruse the leafy, sidewalk-line streets beside their homes. Because of the community’s proximity to the water, several roads meet marshy wetlands and grassy fields.

Wandering along the Delaware River

Residents embrace having the Delaware River within walking distance by enjoying a day at Rivergate Park. Many locals dock their boats at the park’s public boat ramp to catch some fish or sit on the small beach area and watch the sun fade in the Philadelphia skyline. Locals also frequent the Red Bank Battlefield Park for scenic views and deep-rooted history. Check out the trenches and cannons from Fort Mercer, where American forces worked with Fort Mifflin across the river to stop British ships from descending on Philadelphia. Tour the battlefield site plus an old field hospital, the James Whitall Jr. House built in 1766 with Georgian red brick architecture. Wander around the scenic walking trails or absorb the Philadelphia skyline from a park bench and bring the kids to the playground. For extras like living history tours or demonstrations, check the park out during a major event like the 18th Century Field Day or Family History Festival. Local athletes have a home at West Deptford Park. The park sports several multi-use sports fields, often used by local leagues like the West Deptford Soccer Club.
