Search "homes for sale in Weatherby, Woolwich Township" and the results will hand you a gated 55+ community built by Toll Brothers, a resale community of colonials from the mid-2000s, a new-construction phase still under active building, and at least one more variation depending on which portal you land on. Some carry the Weatherby name, while others are grouped under its broader development umbrella. Each offers a distinct combination of construction, amenities, and price, and none of them belong in the same sentence as "the median price in Woolwich Township."
That distinction matters more than it sounds like it should, because Woolwich Township's median tells you almost nothing about what you'll actually pay once you know which Weatherby you mean.
The Same Search Term, Four Different Products
Woolwich's most recognizable community name is associated with at least four distinct developments, each with its own builder, home features, and price logic.
Four Seasons at Weatherby was built by K. Hovnanian between 2005 and 2010 as a gated, age-restricted community for buyers 55 and older. Its monthly HOA fee runs around $295 and covers the pool, health club, lawn maintenance, and snow removal, a full-service arrangement that includes amenities and exterior maintenance.
Preserve at Weatherby is a different animal entirely. Built by Toll Brothers, it's marketed as a gated 55+ community in South Jersey, with first-floor living, pickleball courts, a pool, and a gym built to a premium standard. Price range runs from roughly $500,000 to $750,000 or more, more than double what a comparable-sized home might fetch at Four Seasons a few streets over, because the product, the amenities, and the construction era are not the same thing at all.
Weatherby Meadows, built by Ryan Homes, offers a different product, with no age restriction and floor plans between roughly 1,800 and 2,700 square feet. Listed prices for that community run from about $510,000 to $590,000.
Then there's Gentry Estates, an established community of colonials, frequently cited among Woolwich's most desirable addresses, with a price band closer to $520,000 to $720,000 and up.
Four communities, with different builders and price points. A portal search can make their distinctions easy to miss.
| Community | Builder | Community Features | Approx. Price Band | Notable Terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Four Seasons at Weatherby | K. Hovnanian | Age-restricted, gated, resale (built 2005-2010) | Entry-level resale | ~$295/month HOA covers pool, health club, lawn care, snow removal |
| Preserve at Weatherby | Toll Brothers | Age-restricted, gated, premium | $500,000-$750,000+ | First-floor living, pickleball, pool, gym |
| Weatherby Meadows | Ryan Homes | No age restriction, new construction | ~$510,000-$590,000 | Active building phases, no age restriction |
| Gentry Estates | Established builders | Move-up buyers | $520,000-$720,000+ | Established colonials, strong resale demand |
If you're comparing "a home in Weatherby" against a home in another South Jersey township, the first question isn't the price. It's which Weatherby you're actually looking at.
What a $539,000 Median Actually Tells You
As of September 2026, Woolwich Township's median list price sat at $539,000, essentially flat compared to a year earlier. Days on market, though, told a different story: homes moved in a median of 28 days, a drop of roughly 20 percent from September 2025.
Read those two numbers together and you get something more useful than either alone. A flat median with faster turnover usually means the same price band is seeing more competition, not that homes have gotten more expensive. In a township where entry-level townhomes in planned communities start in the $300,000s and premium new-construction phases push past $700,000, a stable township-wide median can hide two or three submarkets moving in different directions at once. Older resale product built in the 2000s and 2010s tends to trade in the $375,000 to $550,000 range, pulling the median down, while newer construction at Weatherby Meadows and Gentry Estates pulls it up. The median lands somewhere in the middle, describing a home that, in practice, doesn't exist.
For a buyer comparing Woolwich against a neighboring township, the takeaway isn't "prices are flat." It's that the township's price data reflects a mix of products that don't compete with each other, and the only way to know what you'll actually pay is to ask which specific community, builder, and construction era you're being shown.
Kings Landing's Approval Timeline
Woolwich's reputation as a growth market isn't new. As 42Freeway reported, in 2005 the New York Times described the township as "the fastest growing town in America," and the developer behind one of Woolwich's largest current projects has been working toward that vision for two decades.
That project is Kings Landing, a 534-acre redevelopment along Kings Highway, north of Route 322, on both sides of Asbury Station Road, sitting directly next to the Kingsway Middle and High School complex. The plan traces back to 2014, when it existed as two separate proposals for two different parcels. Those merged into a single Kings Landing Redevelopment Plan in 2017.
Progress since then has depended less on construction schedules and more on New Jersey's Mount Laurel affordable-housing framework. In May 2021, Woolwich Township entered a settlement agreement with the developer to satisfy the township's affordable-housing obligations, an agreement the New Jersey Superior Court approved that July. By August 2023, the project's first residential phase went before the township's Joint Land Use Board seeking approval for 1,065 units, including 368 designated age-restricted and 90 designated affordable, with Ryan Homes as the builder. A separate retail component, mapped but not yet before the board, would follow in a later approval round.
None of this means Kings Landing is finished, or even that ground has broken on all 1,065 units. It means Woolwich's next wave of supply, spanning age-restricted, affordable, and market-rate housing, is still working its way through the same kind of multi-year approval process that shaped Weatherby's various phases before it. If you're comparing Woolwich to a township where the housing stock is largely fixed, you're comparing against a moving target.
Why This Matters If You're Comparing Towns
If you're a move-up buyer weighing Woolwich against a nearby South Jersey township, three things follow from all of this.
First, don't compare Woolwich's median against another town's median and assume you're comparing like products. Ask which specific community and builder you're looking at, because "Weatherby" alone spans a $450,000 range in listed price depending on which phase you mean.
Second, check what the HOA fee actually covers before you compare it to a townhome fee somewhere else. A $295 monthly fee that includes pool access, health club membership, lawn care, and snow removal is a different value proposition than a bare-bones fee that covers common-area landscaping alone.
Third, if you're buying new construction anywhere near Kings Highway or Route 322, ask your agent what's currently moving through township approvals. A 1,065-unit project a mile away, even one that includes age-restricted and affordable housing rather than luxury product, changes the traffic patterns, school enrollment planning, and retail mix around it over the coming years. That's not a reason to avoid the area. It's a reason to know what you're buying into before you sign.
A Few Questions Worth Asking
Does "Weatherby" refer to one Woolwich Township neighborhood? No. At least four distinct communities carry the name or sit under its broader development umbrella, including a K. Hovnanian-built 55+ community, a Toll Brothers 55+ community, a Ryan Homes community with no age restriction, and other resale phases nearby. Each has its own builder, price band, and HOA structure.
Will the Kings Landing project affect homes already built in Woolwich? The project's residential phase was still moving through township approval as of its most recent public hearing in 2023, and large redevelopment projects like this typically roll out in phases over several years rather than all at once. Its effect on nearby resale values, if any, will likely play out gradually as phases are built and occupied rather than immediately.
Do all Woolwich Township addresses attend the same schools? Kingsway Regional High School serves grades 9 through 12 for all Woolwich Township addresses. Elementary assignment, through the Swedesboro-Woolwich School District, varies by specific address, so buyers should confirm assignment for a given property directly with the district.
If you're trying to figure out what a specific Woolwich Township address actually buys, and how it stacks up against comparable options in Mullica Hill, East Greenwich, or another South Jersey town on your list, that's exactly the kind of comparison Nancy Kowalik Group walks buyers through community by community.
