I'm Jerry Mac with Keller Williams Realty, and I've been selling homes in Cherry Hill for 23 years. In this guide I'll walk you through the homes, what they're selling for right now, the schools, and what I tell every buyer and seller who asks me about Barclay Farms.

Where Barclay Farms Is

Barclay Farms is in the 08034 zip code in Cherry Hill, and it's built around the historic Barclay Farmstead. According to the township, the Barclay family's old farm was sold in part to builder Bob Scarborough, who developed the Barclay Farm community in the 1950s around the remaining 32 acres. Cherry Hill bought that land in 1974, and it's now the township's Barclay Farmstead.

Streets in the neighborhood include Covered Bridge Road, Old Carriage Road, Pearl Croft Road, Nantucket Drive, Deerfield Drive, Tarrington Road, Wayland Road, Pelham Road, Pine Valley Road, Warfield Road, Dickens Court and Fox Chase Lane.

Two local landmarks give the neighborhood its character:

• The Barclay Farmstead: a 32-acre historic farm with a farmhouse built in 1816, guided tours, nature trails, garden plots and community events. Learn more on the township's Barclay Farmstead page.
• The Scarborough Covered Bridge: a wooden covered bridge that opened in 1959 and carries Covered Bridge Road over the North Branch of the Cooper River. It's named for the neighborhood's builder.

Cherry Hill is one of the easiest places in South Jersey to commute from, with I-295, the New Jersey Turnpike, Route 70 and Route 38 running through or near town. For more on getting around, schools and parks, read my local guide to Cherry Hill neighborhoods.

My Tips for Buying or Selling in Barclay Farms

If you're buying, be ready to compete. More than two out of three homes sold above asking, and 20 sold for 5% or more over, so don't judge a home by its list price alone. Get pre-approved before you start touring, and have your agent set up instant alerts for new Barclay listings. Most homes sold within two weeks. Sellers helped with closing costs on 11 of the 51 sales, usually around $7,500, so it's worth talking through your options. With homes this age, a thorough home inspection is a must, and check the tax bill on any home you're considering. I explain how it works in my Cherry Hill property tax guide.

If you're selling, Barclay Farms buyers are active, but pricing is the biggest thing you control. The homes that sold fastest were priced to the market from day one, while several current listings have sat for two or three months. Spring has been the strongest season, so timing matters. Simple updates and good presentation help too. I can also connect you with trusted handymen and junk removal crews to help get your home ready.
