Serenity Now Folsom

Folsom Borough is a quiet and very rural community located in the heart of the Pinelands National Reserve. Live and Let Live is the mantra here. Did you know that Folsom's population is less than 2,000 residents? Plenty of land area, not many people. The local government is not intensely intrusive and the residents like it that way! Zoning prohibits most residential new construction on less than 2 acres — so new construction is sparse which assists in maintaining the country feel and mature character of the area.

Covers All the Bases

There's a broad mix of housing in Folsom. Waterfront homes off of Collings Drive and Fenimore Ave are affordable and typically standard build. The Park Avenue area properties are mostly moderate sized ranchers that offer good value. The Penny Pot section, farther to the East, are larger homes, most over 2,000 square feet and on larger parcels. Homes for sale in Folsom on Backline Road and 14th Street are quite coveted — moderate to very high end pricing can be expected. Mays Landing Road has a mix of all types of real estate, commercial, light commercial, service industry, large homes, farmland, and smaller homes.

Super Low Property Taxes

Folsom takes pride in having super low property taxes. No nonsense governing — just the essentials at Boro Hall — help keep costs down and personal freedom at a premium. The ratable base is assisted by South Jersey Industries — aka South Jersey Gas. Folsom Borough has a Code Enforcement Officer whose responsibility is to ensure public safety and to preserve the character of the zone. The New Jersey State Police and Atlantic County Sheriffs Department monitor and patrol the Borough. Folsom Boro Hall is located just south of Mays Landing Road on Route 54.
