HEART, ULSE Tucked in the ecologically significant Pinelands of southern New Jersey, Medford is a town that lives in harmony with its surroundings. Spanning 40 square miles, of which nearly 70% is protected under the strict environmental regulations of the Pine Barrens, this community is as defined by its towering pines and winding creeks as it is by its deep historical roots and thoughtful growth. Medford, New Jersey, defies simple description. It is a place where colonial-era homes stand proudly beside independent shops and community festivals illuminate the seasons. Its charm lies in the balance: centuries-old character meets modern-day momentum. The town’s identity is etched into its brick sidewalks and preserved in its family-owned businesses, while its spirit shines through in a vibrant downtown district that feels like a step back in time. 174 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 05
