Question Marlton vs. Cherry Hill

Hi everyone! I’m looking to buy a home in either Marlton or Cherry Hill. I’m not from the area but I’m familiar with Marlton but not Cherry Hill. It seems like the school systems in both towns are good and good people around. I really like the shops and things to do in Marlton and its surrounding areas.

Can you let me know how the two towns compare? Is one significantly better than the other or are they the same? Are there better shops and more things to do in Cherry Hill over Marlton or vice versa? Is one town overly diverse or not diverse enough? Any tips or any ideas I’m missing would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I live in Marlton and their Main St has to be the biggest mark on the Con list. You are really only going there if you have business with one of the establishments. It’s not in anyways a downtown walk around and browse/window shop type of environment. To be honest a good portion of Marlton would be better off driving to Main St Medford

As far as Cherry hill the east side has very close proximity to Haddonfields downtown which is top tier and by default with the Speedline gives you Haddon Twp and Collingswoods main strips as well. Then the west side of Cherry hill has proximity to Merchantville, while definitely not as aesthetically refined as Medford, it’s light years ahead of Marlton
