Egg Harbor Twp, New Jersey Relocation Guide
|
Population: 30,726 Located in Atlantic County
Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey Egg Harbor Township is located eight miles west of Atlantic City. Officially, the area is Great Egg Harbor Township, named after the Inlet and the Bay, but it is almost always shortened to Egg Harbor Township, and most residents know it by that name. However it can also be known as Little Egg Harbor Township, and so any of the three names are recognized! Within the Township there are nine separate communities: English Creek, Scullville, Steelmanville, Bargaintown, McKee City, Cardiff and Farmington, West Atlantic City and Seaview Harbor. Each community has its own neighborhoods too. This allows for a wonderful diversity in home prices, and in activities available in the local community. New Jersey is well known internationally for its high manufacturing rate, and Egg Harbor is no different. With several industrial parks, marinas, office complexes and even an International Airport, Egg Harbor is on the cutting edge of finance, commerce and industry. But where on earth did the township get its name? Research shows that a Dutchman, Cornelius Mey, who in 1614, upon sailing up the coast on the ship, "Fortuyn", came upon a shoreline and river whose sky was so filled with the flight of shorebirds and the beaches and meadows were so laden with nests of their eggs that he called the area, "Eyren Haven", - "the harbor of eggs". Subsequently the name was modified to Eyer Haven and when the English inhabitants arrived it was anglicized to Egg Harbor. If you?re looking to while away an afternoon, a balmy summer evening or a weekend on the golf links, then come to McCullough?s Emerald Golf Links! This is southern New Jersey?s newest public championship golf course. Combining the traditions and features of both old and new, McCullough?s presents players a distinctly different Irish-Scottish golfing experience ? wide open fairways, tricky powerful winds, remarkable grass mounds and bunkers, vast natural waste areas, and true undulating greens ? reminding players of the challenge and allure of true British Isles? golf. Just minutes from Atlantic City?s legendary Boardwalk, casinos, and beaches, McCullough?s 245-acre elevated site lends itself well to acclaimed golf course architect Stephen Kay?s timeless design. The 18-hole, 6,600 yard, par 71 layout is a unique tribute to famed European courses ? St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Prestwick, Gleneagles, and Turnberry, among others. House prices vary widely mostly because the township encompasses so many areas. For example one can buy a single wide trailer for $20,000 all the way to $89,000. A single family home starts at $110,000 but can range all the way to one million or more. A comfortable family home, one with three or four bedrooms, a two car garage, and all the amenities will average out at $250,000. Homes come in all styles, from older, quaint farmhouses to the new colonials with basements. Whatever your need, Egg Harbor can fill it! With so much to offer new and established residents alike, is it any wonder then that Egg Harbor has a long tradition of being such a great place to live. |
