Much of Willingboro was developed rapidly as a planned community in the late 1950s and 1960s. Buyers should evaluate the condition and age of major systems even when a home has been extensively renovated.
Willingboro Housing Guide
Real Estate
Willingboro’s housing stock is strongly identified with its mid-century planned-community development, twelve residential “parks,” large inventory of detached homes, townhouses, apartments and a smaller number of pre-Levitt properties. Current market data shows a substantial active resale market within the 08046 area.

Market measures differ by methodology, so NJTGO presents more than one source rather than treating a single number as “the” Willingboro price.

These are market-level indicators, not appraisals. Property condition, model, renovations, lot, taxes, location within the township and transaction timing can materially change an individual property’s value.
Understanding Willingboro Housing
Neighborhood sections create distinct local identities. Compare street pattern, park access, commercial proximity, traffic and property characteristics rather than relying only on the Willingboro mailing address.
The township also includes townhouse communities, apartment complexes and senior housing, providing housing choices beyond detached single-family homes.
A smaller number of homes and properties predate the planned-community era, particularly around older roads and the township’s earlier settlement pattern.
Buyer Due Diligence
- Confirm the parcel and municipal address with Willingboro Township.
- Review current property taxes and any added assessments.
- Check zoning and permitted use before planning additions or home occupations.
- Review open permits, certificates and code issues.
- Inspect roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drainage and foundation conditions.
- For older homes, understand lead-based-paint disclosure and inspection requirements.
- Confirm school assignment directly with Willingboro Public Schools.
- Review FEMA/NJDEP flood information where relevant, especially near waterways.
- Confirm homeowners-association rules and fees where applicable.
- Compare insurance quotations before committing to a purchase.
Seller & Landlord Preparation
Resolve open permits, gather surveys and approvals, verify tax information, document material improvements, prepare required disclosures and confirm any municipal resale requirements before closing.
Confirm registration, occupancy, inspection and lead-safe requirements that apply to the property. Landlords should also keep lease, deposit and tenant-notice practices consistent with current New Jersey law.
Property Taxes, Zoning & Municipal Records
Willingboro’s Property Tax Office is at the municipal complex, 1 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The Township also maintains zoning, land-use and code-enforcement resources for property owners and applicants.
Tax-bill, payment, added-assessment and account questions.
Use, setback, development and zoning-board information.
Construction, property maintenance and code-related municipal services.
Applicants should confirm current submission, escrow and certification requirements directly with the Township.
Schools & Transportation in a Home Search
School assignments and grade configurations can change, so families should confirm placement with Willingboro Public Schools rather than relying on real-estate advertising. For commuters, Willingboro Town Center and neighborhood bus stops connect to NJ TRANSIT routes serving Philadelphia, Trenton and nearby Burlington County communities.
