About Moorestown
Moorestown Today
Moorestown, New Jersey has it all. With a downtown area listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this vibrant town of about 21,000 has everything one looks for in the ideal suburban hometown. The town has proximity to Philadelphia, and easy access to the New York-Washington travel corridor, yet it retains a small-town feel. Its sense of community, superior public schools, and beautiful homes resulted in Money amagazine naming it the number one American town in 2005. As you drive through the gracious tree-lined streets, you pass wonderful examples of Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and American Foursquare architecture, as well as many more recently built top-of-the-line executive homes. Founded by Quakers in the 1600’s, Moorestown combines historic charm and a strong sense of tradition with many community volunteer organizations, town parades, and festivals along its Main Street.
Moorestown-based Businesses
Though it maintains a small town charm, Moorestown is home to a surprising number of businesses. The majority of which are located in attractive industrial park settings or along the Rte 38 border of Moorestown and Mt. Laurel. Notable employers include Lockheed Martin, Masco Bath Corp. OPEX Corp, Miles Technologies, and a number of healthcare-related businesses and associations, including Bayada Healthcare, Tabula Rasa, Partners in Home Care, Inc., Sterling Medical Services, LLC and the Visiting Nurses Association Home Care Inc.
Moorestown Shopping
Moorestown shoppers have it all. At the town’s rim are a large shopping plaza, Centerton Square and Centerton Commons, the Moorestown Mall, and the adjacent Eastgate Center. In town, there is a walkable business district with a great mix of small shops. The shopping centers and mall provide all the big box stores, discount shopping including Costco and BJ outlets, and huge grocery stores such as Wegman’s, Shoprite, and Acme. In addition, Centerton Square and the Moorestown Mall have numerous specialty stores, and the Mall has several department stores, including Boscov’s, Sears, Lord and Taylor and Macy’s. There is nothing better, though, than a stroll down Main Street, with sidewalk cafes, family-friendly pizza, hot pretzel and ice cream shops, visiting longtime stores like the Happy Hippo toy store, Carl’s Shoes, or Workman’s Bike Shop.
