Delanco is a small Burlington County township on the Delaware River, about half an hour by rail from Camden. If you want a quieter riverfront community with a train station and prices well below Cinnaminson or Moorestown, it deserves a look. I'm Jerry Mac with Keller Williams Realty, and after 23 years in South Jersey real estate, here is what buyers ask me about Delanco.
Figures come from public sources and are dated. Prices change, so ask me for a current look before you decide.

| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price (12 months) | About $325,000 to $335,000 | Homes.com, 2025-2026 |
| Median sold price | $342,000 | Rocket Homes, Oct 2024 |

With so few sales a year, one or two big sales can move the median, so treat these as a range.

Your actual bill depends on the home's assessed value, so check the specific address and talk to your accountant about how it fits your budget.
Flood zones and flood insurance
Delanco sits along the Delaware River, and parts of the township are in FEMA-mapped flood zones. Delanco Township participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, and the township says FEMA's current flood maps took effect in December 2017. News reports have shown the river flooding yards and closing the Riverside-Delanco Bridge during heavy storms. Not every street is affected, but some are, so check the specific address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before you make an offer. If a home is in a mapped high-risk zone and you are using a federally backed mortgage, your lender will notify you if flood insurance is required. Even when it is not required, ask for a flood insurance quote early, because the premium can change the monthly cost of owning the home.
Schools
Delanco Township School District serves M. Joan Pearson Elementary (grades K-5) and Walnut Street Middle School. Confirm current school assignments, including high school, with the district before you buy.
