Where Erlton Is

Erlton is in the 08002 zip code of Cherry Hill. Streets include Massachusetts Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, Jefferson Avenue, Cooper Avenue, Park Drive and Park Boulevard. You're close to major roads, so dining, shopping and commuting are all a short drive away.

The neighborhood's green heart is Erlton School Park, off Park Boulevard at Jefferson and Grant Avenues. It is named for the Erlton School, which opened in 1928 to serve the new neighborhood. The school closed in 1978, and after years of debate the township turned the site into a park in 1995.

My Tips for Buying or Selling in Erlton

If you're buying, be ready to move quickly, and be ready to compete. Most homes here sell above asking, so get pre-approved before you start touring, have your agent set up instant alerts for new Erlton listings, and talk to me about how to make a strong offer. With homes this old, a thorough home inspection is a must. If this is your first home, see my first-time home buyer guide.

If you're selling, pricing it right on day one is the biggest thing you control. The homes that drew the most interest were priced to the market from the start and shown at their best. 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.
