About Atco

Atco is a quiet, wooded community in South Jersey's Waterford Township, home to around 9,000 residents. Sitting right along the western edge of Wharton State Forest and the Pine Barrens, it offers a peaceful, semi-rural feel while keeping you connected to nearby cities. Philadelphia is roughly 45 minutes to the northwest, and you can easily reach the Jersey Shore in under an hour.

Atco Station

Daily life here centers on the outdoors and simple conveniences. Residents visit Atco Lake for fishing and scenic walking trails, while Wharton State Forest provides endless space for weekend hiking and exploring. Commuters benefit from the local NJ Transit rail station, which runs straight between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. For families, younger students attend Waterford Township schools before moving on to Hammonton High School, giving the area a friendly, close-knit neighborhood feel.
