It really gives you a sense of what buyers are looking for and what homes are commanding top dollar in this vibrant Gloucester County community. Let's dive in, shall we?

Taking the very top spot, selling for a substantial $760,000 on May 6th, was the lovely residence at 54 Pitman Road.

Hot on its heels, a truly impressive property at 666 County Road 654 secured a sale price of $750,000 on May 8th. You know, when you think about value, this one truly delivered with an even larger plot – 1.51 acres, to be precise! The house itself was quite grand, spanning 3,369 square feet, and, much like our top seller, featured four bedrooms and two and a half baths. Its 2025 taxes were slightly higher at $10,544, but for that kind of space, it’s understandable.

Moving a little down the list, but by no means stepping into 'small potatoes,' we find 35 Meadowbrook Drive. This charming home sold for a very respectable $710,000 on May 9th. While the lot size was a bit more modest at 0.7 acres, it still offered plenty of outdoor space. The interior was quite ample, coming in at 2,900 square feet with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. A truly comfortable family home, wouldn't you say? And its 2025 taxes were $9,683.

Another strong contender, selling for an even $700,000, was the residence located at 5 Pine Street. This transaction closed on May 9th as well. Here, the new owners acquired a home on a nearly acre-sized lot (0.95 acres), with a comfortable 2,525 square feet of living space. It featured the ever-popular combination of four bedrooms and two and a half baths, proving that this layout is certainly a hit in the township. The 2025 taxes were listed at $8,760, which seems quite reasonable for the package.

Coming in at fifth on our list, 27 Hillcrest Drive fetched a solid $650,000 on May 7th. This home was situated on a half-acre lot (0.5 acres), offering a nice balance of outdoor space without being overwhelming. The house itself was a good size at 2,530 square feet, and yes, you guessed it – it featured four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. It's clear that this configuration is highly sought after! For 2025, the property taxes stood at $8,723.

Finally, rounding out our top six, we have the property at 21 Washington Avenue, which sold for $550,000 on May 6th. While it sits at the bottom of this particular list, it’s still a significant sale in its own right! This home was located on a 0.55-acre lot and offered 1,936 square feet of living space, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It seems like a fantastic opportunity for its new owners, and the 2025 taxes were $8,452.

It's always fascinating to see the ebb and flow of the local housing market, isn't it? These figures really do paint a picture of what's happening at the higher end of Washington Township's real estate. Just a quick note: all these transaction details are based on property sales officially recorded with the Gloucester County Clerk’s Office. It's important to remember that not every sale is necessarily an 'open market' transaction, but these certainly provide a great snapshot!
