Port Elizabeth, NJ

Port Elizabeth is a quiet historic hamlet tucked along the Manumuskin River in Cumberland County's Maurice River Township. Sitting right where Route 47 connects with the southern end of Route 55, it gives residents an easy route toward Philadelphia as well as a straight shot down to the Jersey Shore. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, surrounded by quiet waterways, coastal woods, and deep South Jersey roots dating back to the late 1700s. Historic 19th-century buildings still dot the local streets, including the community library and old village churches. It offers plenty of open space and country charm for anyone looking to settle down away from the suburban rush.
