Need advice - Moving to Southern NJ

[Protege_Speed]

Guys,

I think most of you are from central to southern jersey so I am hoping you can help me out. My wife just got a new job in Vorhees, NJ and we need to move closer to her work. We live in Mahwah right now and I work up here and I don't plan on leaving my job so I am willing to commute but I don't want to drive 2hrs every day. Which town/county do you recommend to live in that is about 30-45 minutes north of vorhees? Hopefully, somewhere that will at least cut my commute down to 1 1/2 hours.

Thanks.

damn. i live right in berlin, which is a little south ish of vorhees. i need mazda guys to hang out with. i dont do s*** down here.

well. its very congested down here. it gets real crazy. so your commute could get annoying. i know mine does down to egg harbor everyday. no traffic, but just driving 45 mins there and back.

looks like thats a hike from mahwah. id say anywhere around central jersey. like pennington or that area. so your close to 295.

wish i could help more. ha i am relatively new to the area too and its super crazy around here with traffic and the whole world going to philadelphia on the same road ( rt 42) lol

I live around Monroe Township and Cranbury which would probably be a more equal commute to both Mahwah and Voorhees.

Thanks guys. I am not looking forward to the commute at all. Hopefully I can find a nice townhouse north of vorhees that's also close to 295 or turnpike.

marlton.moorestown.mtlaurel.

there are tons of places. just a matter of where you look. just remember moorestown is rated the top place to live in the nation.lol so that means big $$$$.

wish i was rich

Hamilton Township is nice too and is exactly 45min away from Voorhees. Just take 295 straight down.

You stole my suggestion

Hamilton would be a good choice.

Just checked some houses in Hamilton Township. Pretty expensive there. Any places that I should stay away from completely?

 

[Protege_Speed]

How's Lawrenceville or Hightstown?

Sorry to hear that

Protege_Speed - congrats on the new house purchase, I live in Burlington Twp. behind the Burlington Center mall and love it.

You me and amp should meet up soon since we all live in B twp. I'm actually putting my speed back on insurance this weekend so I'll be itching to take it out for a spin soon.

07MS6 - What's wrong with Burlington Twp.? It's not Burlington City.

bummer, I just listed my house in lumberton. I'm moving to Penn so my wife can get her masters at Penn State, paid for by the Air Force. Then on to Ohio.
