Although Burlington County is the largest of New Jersey’s 21 counties, it is considered part of the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area because of its proximity to Philly. The county’s population of more than 430,000 is spread across nearly half-a-million acres that stretch from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean. Three cities, six boroughs, and 31 townships make up Burlington County real estate, which dates back to the late 1600s.

The county seat of Burlington County is Mount Holly, which has a growing population of nearly 11,000. Mount Holly’s students attend the Mount Holly Township Public School System, which comprises two elementary schools, one middle school, and the Rancocas Valley Regional High School, which also serves Eastampton Township, Hainesport Township, Lumberton Township, and Westampton Township. If desired, graduates can then continue on to Burlington County College, a two-year public community college that was founded in 1966.

Burlington’s downtown area is made up of a number of quaint communities that abut the Delaware River. However, most of Burlington County’s real estate owners are divided among the county’s more residential neighborhoods, such as Medford, Moorestown, and Evesham. These communities are served by a light-rail service with connections to the New Jersey Transit Service, Amtrak, PATCO, and SEPTA trains, making Burlington County real estate ideal for commuters to Philadelphia. Not that there aren’t plenty of jobs to be found within Burlington County itself! Agriculture is its economic mainstay, with close to $90 million in farm gate value produced by the 800-plus farms located on Burlington County real estate.
