A suburban oasis for commuters to Philly and surrounding areas
Three miles off the New Jersey Turnpike, with lake views, local parks and recreation blocks away, Birchfield is a suburban retreat designed to give commuters an escape from the cares of their week. “Buyers are attracted to the lakes and proximity to Philadelphia,” says Maria Jobes-Hogan, who grew up in Burlington County and became a local Realtor 10 years ago as a second career. “You’re only 25 minutes from the city, and taxes are more reasonable because the high school is regional.”
Part of Mount Laurel Township, Birchfield is very green, unlike the urban sprawl of North Jersey and New York, where the neighborhood gets buyers. “I also see many military personnel looking to buy in Birchfield. Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is only 20 miles away,” says Ron Palentchar, a Realtor with Re/Max World Class Realty who has sold real estate for 25 years and, like Jobes-Hogan, has lived in Burlington County all his life. “Atlantic City is an hour away. So Birchfield can accommodate a wide range of employers within a 50-mile radius.”
In addition to its location and park-like setting, Birchfield also draws homebuyers with its quality schools, ample shopping and local events. “It’s a tight community,” Palentchar says. “Birchfield hosts holiday events like Easter egg hunts and breakfast with Santa. Neighbors get to know each other, and school sports bring families together.” Birchfield also has a crime score of 2 out of 10, according to CAP Index. The national average is 4.
A mix of condominiums and townhouses for under $300,000
Birchfield homes were built from the late ’70s to the mid-’80s and feature a mix of housing options. Over half are two-bedroom condominiums that sell from $150,000 to $300,000. Many have back patios with double sliding doors that lead outside. To maximize space, units often have galley kitchens and double closets for additional storage. Many overlook the lakes at the center of the neighborhood. Two-bedroom townhouses and patio homes account for about a third of the properties in Birchfield. They often come with one-car garages and list for $230,000 to $360,000. A few single-family ramblers and larger three- and four-bedroom colonial-style homes are available, too, for $350,000 to $475,000. These often come with attached garages, extra living space such as family rooms and offices, and large backyards. “Birchfield is an older development, but it draws homebuyers with its lakefront homes, mix of properties and location,” Palentchar says. “In Birchfield, you’re in the center of everything, with easy access to Philadelphia and surrounding areas. You’re also less than an hour from Atlantic City.”
