What was once exclusively rural farmland, White Township – located at the intersection of the Delaware and Pequest Rivers – offers a slice of New Jersey that many don't get to see, while maintaining access to urban amenities and everyday essentials. “It’s very, very rural, even more so than some of its neighbors – I mean, there’s only three stoplights in the place,” says Thomasina Cerciello, real estate agent with EXIT Realty Connections and longtime resident of the area. “But you have some of the most beautiful farmland and open spaces in the entire state, and it feels even more secluded than it really is.” With an old-school atmosphere and influences from its history still present -- along with its natural beauty and seclusion -- White Township is a serene escape from the nearby metropolitan areas.

Single-family homes from $175,000
White Township’s history dates back to the early 1800s, when the area was made up completely of farmland. Today, many of the homes are ranch styles, split-levels, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals. “Half of White Township is more spread out and secluded, while the other half is more broken up into neighborhoods – a few of which are 55-plus communities,” says Kathy Cavitch, secretary for the White Township Consolidated School and resident of White Township for over 20 years. “People come here and they don’t typically leave, and it has that generational charm to it.” Prices range from $175,000 to $600,000 – with houses on the higher end typically being large custom estates.

Lower property taxes
White Township has lower property taxes than nearby towns, in large part because it does not have its own post office, police station or fire station. The township contracts out these services. The Warren County Correctional Center is 2 miles to the south of White Township.
