Alloway, NJ

Set along the banks of Alloway Creek in Salem County, Alloway has the quiet charm of a historic waterside village. It is home to around 1,300 residents who appreciate wide-open spaces, scenic backroads, and an easygoing pace. The town's deep roots are easy to spot as you drive down toward the water and into the original village center, which first grew up around local mills and waterways.

Local pride is strong here, highlighted by landmarks like the 1920s Old Alloway School on Greenwich Street, which neighbors famously rallied to save from demolition. For families moving to the area, younger kids attend Alloway Township School right in town, while older students head to nearby Woodstown High School. Surrounded by active farmland and winding creeks, Alloway is a great spot for anyone seeking a peaceful, close-knit country setting in South Jersey.
