How big of a house are you looking for?
Some towns for you to look into would be Bordentown, Cherry Hill, Burlington, Pennsauken (although not the part of Pennsauken on the Camden border)

Depending on how big of a house you need, your budget is a little bit on the low side, but not completely crazy (north and central jersey prices get much crazier).

Also, the Barrington/Bellmawr area is also nice, but there are a lot more conservatives there compared to most of the state, which is worth noting if that's important to you.

AVOID CAMDEN AT ALL COSTS. There may be some slightly nicer parts to *visit*, but none of it is nice to live in. Please don't get tempted by the really low house prices there, it's not worth it.

Vineland, Bridgeton, and Lindenwold aren't necessarily dangerous, but they are more low income towns.

I live in Bellmawr, got a decent home a few years ago for $200k. Nice quiet neighborhood. I’d call myself the opposite of a conservative but have had no issues per say in the town. I like the close proximity to 295,l and Philly, as I fly out of PHL often for work. While the school district isn’t top tier, we will start my son in elementary school and look to move in a few years. Just my take, good luck!!
