Housing Options in Cherry Hill
By Bob Millaway
Cherry Hill offers a remarkable diversity of housing options, from classic colonials and split-levels to modern townhouses and luxury estates. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a growing family, or an empty nester looking to downsize, there is a home style and neighborhood that fits your needs.
Single-Family Homes
Single-family homes make up the majority of Cherry Hill's housing stock. The most common styles include:
- Colonials — The classic Cherry Hill home. Two-story colonials with four bedrooms, formal living and dining rooms, and attached garages are abundant in neighborhoods like Barclay-Kingston, Downs Farm, and Woodcrest. Most were built between the 1950s and 1980s.
- Split-levels — A popular mid-century design found throughout Cherry Hill. Split-levels offer distinct living zones on multiple levels, often with a family room on the lower level and bedrooms upstairs.
- Ranches — Single-story homes are scattered throughout the township, appealing to buyers seeking one-level living, especially retirees and those with mobility considerations.
- Custom and luxury homes — Premium properties in neighborhoods like Kingston Estates feature larger lots, custom architectural details, and high-end finishes.
Townhouses and Condos
For buyers seeking lower-maintenance living, Cherry Hill has a robust selection of townhouses and condos. These properties range from garden-style condos to spacious townhouses with attached garages. They are particularly popular with first-time buyers, empty nesters, and investors. Most communities include HOA fees that cover exterior maintenance, landscaping, and amenities. Prices typically range from $200,000 to $350,000.
Apartments and Rental Communities
Cherry Hill has several apartment communities concentrated near the Route 70 and Route 38 corridors. These range from garden-style apartments to larger complexes with amenities like pools, fitness centers, and concierge services. The rental market is supported by professionals commuting to Philadelphia and families renting while they explore the area before buying.
Choosing the Right Home Type
The best home type for you depends on your lifestyle, budget, and long-term plans:
- First-time buyers — Townhouses and smaller single-family homes in areas like Ashland offer affordable entry points.
- Families — Colonials and split-levels in neighborhoods near top-rated schools provide space and a strong sense of community.
- Empty nesters and retirees — Ranches, townhouses, and condos offer lower maintenance and often single-level living.
- Investors — Single-family rentals and townhouses in desirable locations tend to attract reliable tenants.
