Voorhees

Picturesque community with stunning properties just outside of greater Philadelphia.

Welcome to Voorhees

Just a few miles outside of central Philadelphia lies one of New Jersey’s hidden gems. This one-of-a-kind community offers residents an idyllic blend of suburban serenity and urban vibrancy. With a population of just under 30,000, Voorhees is a picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of big-city life, with homeowners reveling in the numerous small-town charms and bucolic look of the town.

While the area was settled early in the 1600s, the town of Voorhees was not officially incorporated until 1899. While the area was predominantly agricultural, the arrival of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad in 1854 had a tremendous impact on the community’s popularity. The area’s beautiful local scenery and welcoming community made it one of the most desirable suburbs of Philadelphia, and these factors remain true to this day.
