Population growth in South Jersey is concentrated in towns that offer a combination of new housing development, good schools, and convenient commutes. Mount Laurel has seen significant new construction of townhomes and single-family homes, attracting buyers who want modern amenities with easy access to I-295 and the NJ Turnpike. Lumberton has several new developments under construction, offering more affordable new homes compared to nearby Medford and Moorestown. Westampton has seen growth in both residential and commercial development, with new neighborhoods and shopping centers. In Camden County, Voorhees continues to attract buyers with its excellent schools, medical facilities, and newer housing stock.
