Philadelphia to Marlton (Evesham), NJ Movers: Route 70 Corridor Interstate Specialists
Moving from Philadelphia to Marlton, New Jersey? LiteMovers provides licensed interstate moving services to Evesham Township’s commercial hub, where Route 70 and Route 73 create South Jersey’s retail epicenter. From the Promenade at Sagemore to historic Evesham Road farms being developed into luxury communities, we navigate Marlton’s rapid growth while you focus on settling into Burlington County’s most dynamic township.

Understanding Marlton vs. Evesham Township
Here’s what confuses many Philadelphia movers: Marlton isn’t actually a municipality — it’s the commercial identity of Evesham Township’s northern section. Your tax bills will say “Evesham,” your kids attend Evesham schools, but your address says “Marlton.” This 08053 ZIP code area developed around the intersection of Routes 70 and 73, transforming from 1950s truck farms into today’s retail powerhouse anchored by Wegmans, Costco, and the Promenade at Sagemore.
This distinction matters for your move. Evesham Township’s sprawling 30 square miles includes everything from Marlton’s shopping districts to Kresson’s remaining farms. We know which developments have HOA restrictions, where the township requires permits, and how to navigate both the congested retail corridors and quiet residential streets.
Cherokee High School: The Marlton Migration Magnet
Cherokee High School’s reputation drives many Philadelphia family relocations. Consistently ranked among New Jersey’s top public schools, Cherokee (part of the Lenape Regional High School District) offers:
- Advanced Placement: 30+ AP courses rivaling private schools
- STEM Programs: Robotics labs and engineering partnerships
- Arts Excellence: Award-winning theater and music programs
- Athletics: State championship traditions in multiple sports
- College Placement: 95%+ pursuing higher education
We time countless moves around Cherokee’s academic calendar, helping families establish residency before enrollment deadlines and coordinating summer moves to minimize disruption.
Marlton’s Distinctive Neighborhoods
The Willows at Evesham
This gated community off Brick Road features estate homes on wooded lots. Moving here involves security gate coordination, strict HOA delivery windows (typically 8 AM – 5 PM weekdays), and navigating cul-de-sacs designed for privacy, not moving trucks. Many homes have circular driveways that require precise truck positioning.
Marlton Crossing
Popular with young professionals, this townhome community near Route 73 offers affordable entry into Marlton. These moves require coordination with the management company for elevator reservations and loading zone assignments. The three-story townhomes with garage-level entry create unique logistics we handle daily.
Kings Grant
This established 1980s-90s development offers traditional colonials and split-levels on quarter-acre lots. Mature trees along Evesham Road create canopy challenges, and many homes feature finished basements doubling as home theaters or gyms requiring special handling for exercise equipment and electronics.
Woodstream
Luxury newer construction off Tuckerton Road attracts Philadelphia executives. These 4,000+ square foot homes feature three-car garages, finished basements with wine cellars, and home theaters. Moves here often include high-value items requiring additional insurance documentation and white-glove service.
Historic Marlton Circle Area
The original Marlton settlement around Main Street features homes from the 1920s-1960s. These properties lack the driveways and open layouts of newer developments. We often stage trucks at Marlton Recreation Council and shuttle items, especially for homes along the narrow sections of Main Street.
Route 70/73 Corridor: Retail Paradise, Moving Challenge
Marlton’s retail dominance creates unique moving logistics:
Traffic Timing Strategy
Avoid: Weekday rush (3-7 PM) when Routes 70/73 gridlock
Avoid: Saturday afternoons during shopping peaks
Ideal: Tuesday-Thursday mornings for residential areas
Best: Early morning starts (7 AM) beat retail traffic
The Promenade at Sagemore and Marlton Crossing shopping centers generate heavy traffic that impacts nearby residential moves. We plan routes avoiding Sagemore Drive during peak retail hours and use back entrances through Evesboro-Marlton Road when possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Marlton address matter if it’s really Evesham Township?
While “Marlton” is preferred for mail delivery and GPS navigation, legal documents, taxes, and schools all reference Evesham Township. Your moving contract will show Marlton, but township services, voting, and schools all operate under Evesham. This dual identity reflects the area’s evolution from rural township to suburban retail hub.
How do Cherokee High School boundaries affect my move?
All Marlton/Evesham addresses feed to Cherokee High School, but elementary and middle schools vary by neighborhood. Marlton Elementary, Jaggard, and Rice Elementary have specific boundaries. We can time your move to establish residency before school registration deadlines and provide documentation for enrollment.
Can you navigate Marlton’s traffic during retail peak times?
We’ve mapped alternate routes avoiding Route 70/73 congestion. Using Kresson Road, Burnt Mill Road, and local cut-throughs, we bypass shopping traffic. For Saturday moves near the Promenade, we start at 7 AM before shoppers arrive. Our drivers know every back entrance and service road.
Do Marlton’s HOA communities have special moving requirements?
Yes, particularly The Willows, Woodstream, and newer developments. Requirements include: advance notification (48-72 hours), specific hours (usually 8 AM – 5 PM weekdays), truck size restrictions, and damage deposits. We handle all HOA coordination and comply with community guidelines.
What’s unique about moving to Marlton versus other South Jersey towns?
Marlton combines suburban residential areas with major retail corridors, creating distinct challenges. The mix of brand-new developments and 1960s neighborhoods means varying access issues. The Route 70/73 intersection creates traffic patterns unlike quieter towns. Plus, Evesham’s size means your new home could be anywhere from busy Marlton Pike to rural Kresson-Gibbsboro Road.
