Suburban enclave enveloped by farm country and Fort Dix
Pemberton Heights is a residential pocket within Burlington County surrounded by the farms and the New Jersey Pine Barrens. “It has a lot to offer if you like a rural setting, like lakes for kayaking and hiking trails. But it’s still close to shopping and major highways. It’s got a dynamic to it where you can enjoy the best of both worlds,” says Deedra Richardson, Realtor with Prime Realty who has sold properties for over a decade. “We get a lot of buyers from up north like New York City who are trying to find the American Dream – suburbia, homes that actually have grass, and all that.” Additionally, the neighborhood is only 7 miles down the road from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, commonly called Fort Dix, making it a popular place for military families to drop anchor.
Midcentury single-family homes
Most homes lie behind chain-link and picket fences on a grid of lamp-lit streets named after northeastern universities such as Harvard and Amherst. Lots tend to fall under 10,000 square feet in size, and builds often follow split-level and raised ranch-style designs, connected by sidewalks. On the north and east sides of the neighborhoods, buyers will find smaller Cape Cod homes and larger Colonial Revivals, sometimes hidden behind mature trees. “Most homes were built in the 1950s and ‘60s. A lot of new families and buyers have come in and renovated them,” Richardson says. Prices usually run from $200,000 to $425,000.
Split level homes are a popular choice for those wanting multi level living in Pemberton Heights.
Pemberton Heights residents enjoy single family home living on modest sized lots.
