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".)
 South 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.
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
McGuire Air Force Base (AFB).
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... |
