Living in Medford, NJ

Medford’s beautiful scenery takes precedence when it comes to activities that residents enjoy. Johnson’s Corner Farm is a popular attraction offering fresh produce and baked goods to visitors, as well as hay rides that lead to “pick your own” fields full of pumpkins, apples, strawberries, and more. The farm also features a market and a variety of activities to keep the kids entertained. 

The Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge is dedicated to preserving the wide variety of wildlife that calls Medford and its surrounding areas home. Medford families enjoy day trips to Cedar Run to visit the animals and learn more about the local ecosystem. The refuge also offers day camps and classes for further educational opportunities.

Visiting Medford’s downtown area, Medford Village, is a bit like stepping back in time. The brick sidewalks and gas streetlights evoke a bygone era. Residents love visiting the quaint shops and historic restaurants, including Braddock’s Tavern. Medford Village is also home to several parks, the library and the Medford Arts Center.

History abounds in Medford real estate. Medford Village is home to historic Victorian homes, while log cabins are available throughout the town; colonials and ramblers are also in abundance. Medford’s bucolic setting also allows for large estates to be built on several acres of land. Because Medford has avoided overcrowding, there are also many plots of land available for buyers to build their own dream homes.

Most Medford residents use their cars to get around town and to commute into nearby Philadelphia. At only about 40 miles away, the Jersey Shore is a popular day trip or weekend destination for residents who enjoy relaxing on the beach. If they want to travel further afield Philadelphia International Airport is less than 30 miles away.
