Medford, New Jersey (actually the municipality of Medford Township) and it's surrounding areas is a great place to live, work, build a business and raise a family. Because it is such a desirable location, it experiences a high, steady demand for property -- which maintains it's value as a good investment with long-term appreciation. 
With excellent schools, strong community involvement and athletic programs, growing places of worship, easy access to great recreational facilities, high caliber educational institutions, cultural and historical sites and events, seemingly unlimited fine dining opportunities, shopping and financial centers, the greater Medford area contributes much to enabling your enjoyment of life to the fullest.
There are a variety of homes in Medford Township (as well as the Medford Lakes Borough, located physically within the borders of Medford Township). Prices for single family homes, unless they are extremely small or need work, tend to start in the $200,000's and go on up from there, depending on the neighborhood, condition, size and amenities, location on a lakefront and age. The average house probably falls within the $300 to $500 thousand price range.
Since most homes are usually well maintained, age alone is not a reliable indicator for determining relative value of properties, as they often are completely remodeled or upgraded. 
Buildable residential lots are limited and usually priced $200,000+ per acre, so most new home construction tends to be in the $700,000's and above. Some smaller units, such as duplexes or condos, are available, but limited in number and location.
Medford Village, which is the original "town" part of Medford Township, contains many historic homes. All of Medford Village along with all of Medford Township and Medford Lakes Borough share the same Zip Code: 08055. In the Village (as well as in Medford Lakes), most lot sizes tend to be smaller, enough for the house and a small front and back yard, while as you go away from "town", lots tend to be wooded and larger, a half acre to an acre in size.
Medford has a mixture of homes, with public water and sewer service or with private well and/or septic systems, depending on distance from treatment plant. (Medford Lakes has public sewer with private wells.) [Click here for all currently available homes for sale.]
