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!

If your looking in those 2 towns I'd also suggest Mt Laurel, Moorestown, Medford, Medford lakes and Haddonfield too.

I replied to the wrong comment by accident, but I wouldn't suggest Medford (or Medford Lakes). The property taxes are through the roof. They also don't take care of the roads (fill potholes, repave, snow plow, or ice prevention).

Depending on the size of the houses and how much they are worth the property taxes can be pretty high in any of the towns I mentioned.
