The 2020 Census counted 1,544 residents across 92.6 square miles of land. Residential properties are widely dispersed compared with suburban Burlington County.
Woodland Township Housing Guide
Real Estate
Woodland's real-estate market is unlike most of Burlington County: a small number of homes spread across a very large Pinelands municipality, with rural lots, forest and agricultural land, limited inventory and development rules that make parcel-level due diligence especially important.

Woodland is a thin-volume market. Zillow did not publish several common transaction metrics for the township, so NJTGO does not manufacture median-sale, inventory or days-on-market figures where source coverage is insufficient.
What Makes Woodland Property Different
The township is entirely within the Pinelands National Reserve, with multiple Pinelands management areas. Development potential cannot be judged from acreage alone.
Private wells, septic systems, propane/oil, long driveways and limited public utilities are relevant on many rural properties. Verify each parcel rather than assuming standard suburban utilities.
Wetlands, forest, water tables, fire risk, threatened-species habitat and Pinelands requirements may affect improvements or development.
The village offers the township's most compact residential setting and easiest access to municipal services, the school and village institutions.
Even in this protected landscape, individual new homes appear in the market. Buyers should confirm all approvals, septic/well documentation and final municipal inspections.
Buyer Due Diligence
- Verify the tax lot, municipality and postal address separately.
- Review current zoning and the Township zoning map.
- Determine the applicable Pinelands management area.
- Confirm whether Pinelands Commission review or approval is required.
- Inspect private well water and obtain appropriate water-quality testing.
- Inspect septic condition, design capacity and approval records.
- Review wetlands, flood mapping, drainage and high-water conditions.
- Confirm legal access to the property and maintenance responsibility for private roads.
- Review wildfire exposure, defensible space and insurance availability.
- Check open permits, code issues and certificates.
- Confirm boundary surveys, easements and acreage rather than relying on listing copy.
- Check school assignment directly with the district.
Taxes, Zoning, Permits & Land Use
Woodland Township publishes tax information, zoning applications, building-permit guidance and Land Use Board materials online. The current Land Use page also provides the 2025 Master Plan Reexamination Report and zoning map.
Schools in a Home Search
Chatsworth Elementary School serves inclusive preschool through grade 8. Woodland students in grades 9–12 attend Seneca High School in Shamong through the Lenape Regional High School District. Confirm attendance and transportation directly with the districts before making a housing decision.
