Woodbury is the Gloucester County seat, a small city with older housing stock and some of the more affordable prices close to Philadelphia. Woodbury Heights, next door, is a separate borough. I'm Jerry Mac with Keller Williams Realty, and I've helped South Jersey buyers and sellers for 23 years. Here is what living in Woodbury looks like, using closed-sale numbers from Bright MLS.
Figures below are dated and come from Bright MLS and public sources. Prices move month to month, so ask me for a current look before you make a decision.
What do homes cost in Woodbury?
These Bright MLS figures combine Woodbury City and Woodbury Heights, because I pulled both MLS areas together.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Closed residential sales | 150 | Bright MLS, 11/2025 to 11/2026 |
| Median closed price | $337,000 | Bright MLS, 11/2025 to 11/2026 |
| Average closed price | About $345,154 | Bright MLS, 11/2025 to 11/2026 |
| Closed price range | $142,000 to $695,000 | Bright MLS, 11/2025 to 11/2026 |
| Median list price | $339,000 | Bright MLS, 11/2025 to 11/2026 |
| Median days on market | About 20 days (average 38) | Bright MLS, 11/2025 to 11/2026 |
| Median sale-to-list ratio | 100% | Bright MLS, 11/2025 to 11/2026 |
About 45 percent of homes (68 of 150) sold above list price, 23 percent (35) sold at list and 31 percent (47) sold under list. The typical home sold had about 1,600 square feet and was built around 1950, so expect older construction. Older homes can mean character, but also ask about the roof, heating, electrical and plumbing, and get a thorough inspection.
What are property taxes in Woodbury?
For 2025, the NJ Division of Taxation lists Woodbury City with a general tax rate of 4.865 and an effective rate of 3.254, and Woodbury Heights Borough at 4.832 general and 3.217 effective. These are among the higher rates in Gloucester County, so look at the actual tax bill on any home, not just the price. I'm not an accountant, so talk to yours about how taxes fit your budget and your deductions. The state's Division of Taxation also lists relief programs such as ANCHOR.
Schools
Woodbury City and Woodbury Heights are separate municipalities, and school assignment can differ by address. Confirm the school district and school for any specific home with the district before you buy.
Commute
Most residents drive, and rush hour is the variable, so test the drive to Philadelphia at the time you would actually travel.
Who Woodbury fits
- Buyers who want a lower price than much of Camden County and are comfortable with an older home.
- Buyers who want a small-city setting in the county seat.
- Buyers who want a quieter, smaller-town feel can also look at Woodbury Heights.
