Introducing: South Jersey!

Southern New Jersey, more commonly called "South Jersey",  has it's own distinct mind-set and culture from that of the rest of New Jersey. (See: "North vs South - New Jersey Style.")  They even talk differently. (See: "Survivor's Guide to New Jersey Speak.")

Philadelphia Skyline At NightSouth Jersey is a great place to live, work, play and raise a family.  Whether you prefer an urban, suburban or country environment to live, it's all here.  And depending on where you live, you are usually no more than 30 minutes to an hour away from vast pristine wilderness areas, popular shore destinations and relaxing beaches, or the culturally rich greater metropolitan Philadelphia area, allowing you access to major sporting events, entertainment, arts, music, museums, aquariums, historical sites and more!.  And within another hour or two you can be in New York City.

South Jersey and the greater Delaware Valley area is a center for local and nationally known shopping outlets. malls and great bargains.

 
 Jersey Grown produce    
It offers a wide variety of wonderful food, places to eat and Jersey Fresh produce in season.   The Delaware Valley, which includes  the majority of South Jersey, is home to the hoagie, cheese steak, soft pretzels and Tastykakes.  It offers some of the best pizza served in the nation. (My personal favorite is white pizza with broccoli).   Whether your preference is ethnic foods, traditional American, organic or special dietary, you have convenient availability to competitively priced general, discount, health and specialty food stores.

Our family friendly local communities provide excellent school systems, including support services for special needs children, and extensive school, regional and community recreational and athletic programs for all sports and at all levels of competition. (We even have the only sanctioned professional weekly rodeo east of the Mississippi.)

There's also sightseeing adventures, recreational opportunities, shopping and dining experiences that await you when you want to enjoy great getaway evening, day or weekend trips around the nearby NJ, Eastern PA, Delaware, NYC and East Coast areas.

It's all within easy reach from any point where you will be living in South Jersey while stationed at Fort Dix.




The areas surrounding the military bases of McGuire AFB and Fort Dix and the Lakehurst NAES offer a variety of styles and prices in housing.  We have a wealth of resource to help you search and find the right community location for you and to find the best home for your budget...

Lawrence- Nicely done.  We were stationed at Ft Dix for several years. I am a native from New Jersey (North) and agree that South is a completely different world.  Keep me in mind for referrals to Quantico and NSWC Dalghren.
