Welcome to Salem County

Located in the heart of the Northeast Corridor, Salem County is the Gateway to New Jersey, and the locals will not let you forget it. Rich with a legacy of historical places and events, a vast array of natural resources and open spaces, a stable farming community, and a strong economic job base, Salem County offers residents and visitors alike a little slice of goodness. Although easily within driving distance from Washington, DC, Baltimore, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and New York City, the scenic landscapes, lively art, and living history coming out of the County allow one to leave the urban sprawl behind. In general, the character of the homes in the area embodies the colonial theme, but modern touches can often be discovered behind each door, and newly built options often become available as well.
