Woolwich Township is a farming community in Gloucester County
Incorporated in 1767, the Woolwich Township is a historic community comprised of modern housing and preserved farmlands on the western outskirts of Gloucester County. "The town of Woolwich puts the garden in garden state," says Broker Associate Ed Dupper of eXp Realty. "There's a lot of family-owned farms that grow tomatoes, green peppers and corn. The area affords a slow-paced, rural feel while close to shopping, restaurants and parks." Dupper was born and raised in the area and has sold homes for 35 years.

Historic homes and 21st-century subdivisions
Housing in the Woolwich Township is a blend of the old and new. In the town's heart are colonials and bungalows that date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many houses sport 1,500 square feet and three bedrooms, with features like screened-in porches and intricate landscaping. The township saw substantial growth toward the end of the 20th century as subdivisions with spacious, contemporary colonials and ranch-style homes filed in. "While there was a lot of development, it's far from the high-density feel of the city," Dupper says. "Residents choose this area for the more affordable pricing and larger lots. You'll get lots anywhere between one and three acres." Housing prices range anywhere from $200,000 to $550,000. Most streets are lined with sidewalks and mature trees, often with residents enjoying a stroll.

Quiet and friendly town. Great place to raise kids. Schools are good and neighborhood is safe. There are future development plans to bring in more popular retail stores which eases the current lack of variety. Lots of farmland in the area and fresh produce markets. Lots of town events planned all year for families.

It's a smaller town. There is lots of open space and farmland which I find quite peaceful and serene. There aren't many nearby big box stores which I appreciate because it keeps the traffic down and it's not a very congested area. Most major stores are an easy 20 to 25 minutes away. There are a lot of great restaurants and all the residents are very nice.
