What the last year looked like
Eighteen of those 22 houses were built before 1940, and nine before 1900. The typical house that sold was built around 1915.
You can still buy here for less than $500,000. Nine of the 22 sold below that line, built between 1873 and 1930, five of them on East 3rd Street. Six sold between $750,000 and $999,999, on East 2nd, East Main and West 3rd Streets. Two sold for more than a million, one on East 2nd Street and one on East 3rd Street.
Twenty-two sales is a small sample, so one big sale moves the picture. Use these numbers as a guide, not a forecast.
The condos. Five condos on East Main Street sold between $410,000 and $460,000. They typically took about 52 days to sell, compared with about 13 for the houses.
Right now. As of Oct. 13, 2026, six houses are for sale, from $445,000 to $1,850,000. Four East Main Street condos are listed from $390,000 to $635,000, and one house is under contract.
Zoom out. For the whole town, homes sold over the last six months went for about 101% of asking on average, and the market had about 3.4 months of inventory, which leans toward sellers (figures as of Oct. 13, 2026). See the live Moorestown market report, which updates as the market moves.
A road older than the town
Main Street wasn't planned. It follows a ridge the Lenni Lenape used long before anyone drew a road on a map. Two natural springs, one near the Perkins Center for the Arts and one off North Stanwick Road, pulled people to the area.
Later it became the King's Highway, and that road is a big reason the town grew where it did. So when you buy a house here, you're buying onto a street with a long memory.
Walking it, from Chester Avenue out
Main and Chester. This is where the town's Quaker story starts, and the meetinghouse and Friends School still anchor the corner.
The houses. The Moorestown Historic District is on the National Register, and the reason is the mix: homes from several centuries of American building, often on the same block. Some old houses along Main Street have been turned into shops, and some storefronts hide an older house behind a modern front.
Second Street and the Community House. This is where the town gathers. The Moorestown Community House was renovated recently and runs events and classes through the year. If you want to know whether you'd like living here, come on a Saturday morning and watch who's out walking.
What to check before you buy
An older house deserves a careful inspection. Ask about the age of the roof, wiring and heating, and about any additions.
Look at the lot and the street. Lot sizes and parking vary a lot from block to block.
Walkability is the real draw. Plenty of people buy here so they can leave one car at home.
You'll probably love it if
You want to walk to coffee, the library and the Community House, and you're fine with an older home's quirks.
It's probably not the one if
You want a big new kitchen on a big flat lot with a three-car garage.
