Mount Laurel Apartments for Rent

Mount Laurel, New Jersey: a Mountain in New Jersey?

The short answer is no, Mount Laurel isn’t atop a real mountain. The city is only 56 feet above sea level. Though it’s decidedly down to earth, this is still a great place to call home. An "edge city," of Philadelphia, this New Joisey locality is known for at least one scenic landmark: Laurel Acres Park. This park has a dog run, a fishing lake, and three huge playgrounds. Pretty nice, isn’t it?

Mount Laurel's keeps a handy list of its social characteristics," which is sure to appeal to the particularly brainy among you. Check out the city's stats so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not to choose Mount Laurel as your new hometown. For instance, did you know that 14% of Mount Laurel residents hold an advanced degree, or that half of the people who live here were born in a different state? Why are so many out-of-towners moving to Mount Laurel? The city's "social characteristics" won't answer that question but we can deduce that this must not be a bad place to live.

A succession of New Jersey Supreme Court decisions that have been dubbed the "Mount Laurel Decisions," dictate that municipalities in this state must provide some level of access to low-income housing. You'll find this community heartily upholding that mandate. You may even end up the beneficiary of such housing yourself.

Mount Laurel's Parks

Do you like the outdoors? Who doesn't? Make sure you head down to Laurel Acres Park, the crown jewel of Mount Laurel's Parks and Recreation Department. You can get an overview of the place here. As you can see, there's no way to enjoy all of this park's amenities in one day. A complete list of the city's parks can be found here, along with detailed descriptions of the amenities at each.

If you're looking for a little fun in the sun, the city's Coco Key Water Resort is a splashing good time. Enjoy the water, take a break and eat some pizza (remember to let yourself digest for a bit before jumping back in the water). One of the park's more enticing attractions, at least in our humble opinion, is the "Shark Slam," an intimidatingly awesome water slide that stands 4 stories high and shoots kids and adults down 300 feet of slide.
