Property taxes and schools
Larger homes mean larger assessments, so check the actual tax bill for any address and ask your accountant how it fits your budget. School assignment can differ by address, so confirm the district and schools with the district before you buy.
Lifestyle and the Pinelands
Much of the township sits inside the Pinelands National Reserve, which limits development and protects the woods, trails and waterways. That is a big part of the appeal. Ask about septic and well systems on any home you consider, and get a thorough inspection.
Commute
Route 206 and nearby county roads connect to Medford, Hammonton and the rest of Burlington County. Test the drive at your own commute hours.
Compare with Tabernacle and Medford.
