Living in Washington Twp, Gloucester County - 7/4/2010
Washington Township, Gloucester County has delusions about its quality of living. Just go down the Black Horse Pike and look at the buildings throughout the community. You will quickly come to the realization that this is not a Premier Community, it is a Dump. This community is run by a bunch of individuals who have absolutely no idea as to what contributes to a good community. Many individuals aspire to a life style of living just a little bit better than living in a row house in South Philly. Because of the very high taxes most people are just one pay check behind loosing their home. Just ride through many of the various developments and you will find abandoned home. I am giving you some sound advice before you buy in Washington Township; brutal property taxes, drug problems in the schools, realize that many who live here can not afford what they have, come to the realization that most who operate the government and schools are part of a political machine only

Living in Washington Township - 4/29/2010
As a former citizen of Philadelphia, Washington township is a much more appealing community to raise a family. While it is approximately 25 miles south east of Philadelphia, it has a small town feel. The people are friendly and focused on family and community. The neighborhoods are well maintained, the roads are generally less congested compared to some other south Jersey neighborhoods, the schools provide a solid education, city services are good, and the commute to Philadelphia is relatively short 20-35 minutes.
Some complaints are the high property taxes, very little industry diversity in the township itself, and limited social activities. Overal if you can afford the taxes, it is a great place to

Washington Township = anytown USA upper-middle cla - 2/11/2010
I was brought up here. My family has a lovely home, but Washington Township is crowded with unfriendly people who care mostly about what others HAVE in a material sense then who they are as people. There isn't a sense of warmth here. To the other extreme there's the Birches section of the township...which is like of south central LA....very rough. Also, there is NOTHING TO DO...unless you really like Target that
