Moving to Cherry Hill: a practical guide
Housing and what it costs
Cherry Hill is a suburb of single-family homes, and by the Census ZIP figures it costs well below North Jersey’s Orthodox towns such as Teaneck and Bergenfield. Figures change fast — use the apartment search above for live listings.
Picking a street
The main cluster is on and around Cooper Landing Road — Sons of Israel, the Young Israel and the Community Kollel — so most families look there first. Keter Torah, Torah Links and Chabad are in the south of the township, a separate walk.
Kosher and daily life
Kosher shopping is available locally and across the river in Philadelphia. Life runs by car. Mikvaos are at Sons of Israel (Mikvah Ohel Leah) and at Chabad (Mikvah Mei Shifra).
Schools
The Foxman Torah Institute on Maple Avenue is a boys’ high school; for younger children, families use schools locally and in the Philadelphia area. Confirm current admissions, tuition and transportation directly with each school.
Who it fits
Families working in Philadelphia or South Jersey who want an established Orthodox suburb with a kollel, several shuls and two mikvaos, at prices North Jersey no longer offers.
