Turnersville, a thriving business and residential area within Washington Township, Gloucester County, is known as “South Jersey’s Premier Community”, and serves as a midpoint of sorts between the Philadelphia suburbs and the New Jersey Shore. Turnersville commercial real estate offers a wealth of opportunities for store and restaurant owners, industrial centers, business offices and much more.
At 21.5 square miles in area, Washington Township is the fourth-largest municipality in Gloucester County, just between Logan Township at 27 square miles and Woolwich Township at 21 square miles.
The Turnersville section of the township is named for the Turner family, who were among the earliest residents of the area. The oldest community in Washington Township – Grenloch Terrace – originally was a Native American village named Tetamekon. That settlement was one of the hubs of the Leni Lenape nation, the indigenous people of the Delaware and Susquehanna river basins.
The community of Turnersville, as a part of Washington Township, is the most populous municipality in Gloucester County, with a 2010 U.S. Census population of 48,500 residents. This puts the township ahead of Monroe Township (with 36,000 residents) and Deptford (31,000).
Of those 48,500 residents, about a quarter are under 18 years of age, 10 percent are 18- to 24-years old, a quarter between 25 and 44, 30 percent aged 45 to 64, and about 10 percent are 65 or older. Just about one-third of the adult population of the township has achieved an education level of Bachelor’s Degree or better.
