Terrestria Townhomes for Sale

Living in Terrestria

Terrestria is an attached community in Gloucester Township, built between 1976 and 1982 off Sicklerville Road, and it is easy to spot on a map because of how it is named. Del Sol Place, Mission Lane, Flores Lane, La Jolla Lane, Sonora Court — Spanish and mission names, in the middle of South Jersey, laid down when this end of the township was being built out. Alongside them run a set of literary streets, Keats Drive, Byron Court and Thackery Court. Two naming schemes in one community, and both are unmistakable once you know them.

The product is more varied than most attached communities anywhere. Terrestria contains interior rows, end-of-row units, twins and at least one flat — four different structure types under one name. That matters practically: an end unit and a twin here are different houses with different light, different yards and different shared walls, and they do not trade at the same number. Sizes run from around a thousand square feet up past two thousand, with two and three bedrooms and one to two and a half baths. Split levels and contemporaries sit alongside traditionals and colonials.

A warning worth stating plainly, because it costs buyers money: a search filtered to condos and townhomes will not show you the twins. Twin and semi-detached is a separate structure type in the MLS, and any grid built on property type alone silently drops those listings. In a community where three of the recent sales were twins, that is a real gap. Everything on this page is pulled on the community itself, so the whole picture is here regardless of how a given listing was categorized.

The amenities are the argument for the monthly fee. Terrestria has a community pool, tennis courts and basketball courts inside the community, along with exterior and grounds maintenance — which for this price point is genuinely unusual. Most attached communities in the township at this entry offer maintenance and nothing else. Cathedral ceilings, stone fireplaces, eat-in kitchens and finished basements are common in the units, and the finished lower levels do real work here since the footprints are compact. Central air, public water and public sewer.

Terrestria sits directly alongside the townhome side of Stonebridge Run, and the two share this stretch of Sicklerville Road. Stonebridge's attached units are twenty years newer and larger; Terrestria is the more affordable way in and has amenities Stonebridge does not. Buyers looking at this price point should see both, along with the wider field at Gloucester Township condos and townhomes.

A note on the address: mail here goes out as Sicklerville 08081, and Sicklerville is a post office, not a municipality. Terrestria is in Gloucester Township, on Gloucester Township taxes and services. See Gloucester Township 08081 for the rest of this end of the township, and the recently sold homes for where these are landing.
