Shopping conveniences blend with a suburban lifestyle outside of Philadelphia
Though Washington Township, New Jersey, is tucked along the outskirts of Philadelphia’s suburbs, it still offers a well-connected lifestyle close to amenities and shopping. Suburban-style streets bend and weave through the new and established residential subdivisions – which feature a diverse range of architecture – scattered throughout the township. “Around here, people call this a premier community,” says Kevin Craig, a local Realtor with Real Broker LLC who grew up in Washington Township. “We’re 15 minutes from Philadelphia, and we have access to major highways, endless shops and restaurants, parks and a major hospital. Not to mention we’ve got one of the top school districts around.” Residents can access shopping centers and malls minutes away from their doorsteps, and the Jefferson Washington Township Hospital is centrally located within the neighborhood.
Washington Township is a pleasant area that is only 18 miles from Philadelphia.
Washington Township is a densely populated area with a population of 48,677.

Varied architecture within new and established subdivisions
Suburban-style streets bend and weave throughout the new and established subdivisions scattered throughout the township. The neighborhood has a wide variety of homes, ranging from manufactured homes and condos to elaborate estates situated on multi-acre properties. “We’re definitely still growing, and we’ve got very diverse home styles, too,” Craig says. “There are so many new developments going on I couldn’t even tell you how many there are.” Manufactured homes range from $46,000 to $130,000; condos may cost between $190,000 and $310,000; and twin homes and townhouses can list for $220,000 to $450,000. Still, single-family homes are the most common. The neighborhood’s more established housing stock includes minimalistic bungalows, split-level houses, and ranch styles, some dating back to 1900. Some of the township's earliest subdivisions feature split-level and Colonial Revival styles built between the 1970s and 1990s. These can price between $270,000 and $600,000. Newer construction takes the form of New Traditional and Colonial Revival architecture. Newer homes and larger, established homes with more acreage can fetch between $650,000 and $1.6 million. Craig says Washington Township’s market stays competitive even with a wide variety. “There’s not a whole lot of inventory right now, so the average home generally will go under contract within a week of listing it, with multiple offers and significantly above asking price,” he says.
The residential streets of Washington Township are filled with Colonial revival homes.
