Maurice River Mobile Home for Sale

Maurice River Township in Cumberland County, New Jersey, maintains a rural, old-town charm dating back to the mid-1600s. This quiet area, originally an oyster community, now features miles of nature preserves, wetlands, and historical landmarks like the second-oldest lighthouse in New Jersey. The township has fewer than 200 homes, with styles ranging from national and Cape Cod to colonial designs, many retaining their original structures. Renovated homes and smaller historic homes are available, often on wide-open lots without HOA fees. However, properties near the Delaware Bay, Maurice River, and Manumuskin River may fall within FEMA flood zone AE, requiring vigilance during extreme tides and weather. The area lacks sidewalks, city centers, and major retailers, making driving essential. State Routes 47, 347, and 49 provide access to Cape May County, Philadelphia (57 miles), and Atlantic City (42 miles). Local highlights include the East Point Lighthouse, Bay Day, Butterfly Festival, Family Night Out, and Fall Fest. Dining options like Maurice River Diner and Bailey’s Seafood offer local flavors, while nearby Millville provides grocery stores and shopping at Cumberland Mall. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Heislerville Fish And Wildlife Management Area and the Manumuskin River Preserve. Maurice River Township Elementary serves pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, with high school students attending Millville Memorial High School or Millville Senior High School in the Millville School District.
