1. All Roads Lead to Mount Holly
Mount Holly is located only 20 miles from the State
Capital in Trenton and 20 miles from Center City Philadelphia. With
the NJ Turnpike and Routes 295 and 206 within easy reach, Mount Holly
is right in the middle of what's happening.
2. Abundant Foot Traffic
As the Burlington County seat and home to the County's
premier hospital, over 5,000 professionals works, shop, and dine in
downtown Mount Holly. Add that number to the many clients and visitors
utilizing their services and you can see why foot traffic is not a
problem.
3. Centralized Downtown
Mount Holly is surrounded by the communities of
Eastampton, Westampton, Hainesport, and Lumberton. Their combined
population of over 28,000 residents in addition to 544 newly erected
housing units, are within a 5-minute drive of Mount Holly's downtown
businesses. Because these communities lack their own centralized downtown,
they treasure downtown Mount Holly as their own.
4. Free Parking
With hundreds of free parking spaces in downtown
Mount Holly, there is a space for you. No meters, no hassles. Just
acres of parking within walking distance to every downtown business.
5. Clean, Safe, Inviting
The Township funds five Downtown Walking & Bicycle
Patrols and a Downtown Clean Team, who maintain a clean and safe downtown
environment for your business and customers. You only have to take
care of your own property. Leave the rest to us!
6. Historic
The history of Mount Holly predates the American
Revolution by nearly 100 years. More than just a charming little community
tucked into the scenic Rancocas Valley, it is a living part of American
History with an abundant historic inventory of 18th and 19th century
buildings, most of which are included in our Nationally Registered
Historic District.
7. Waterways
Mount Holly is home to the Historic Mill Race Waterway,
which runs directly through the downtown area. As a focal point for
Mount Holly and the Mill Race Village of Shops, the "Rancocas
Creek" provides a visually pleasing vista where pedestrians can
be seen walking, biking, or dining.
8. Mill Race Village
Home to 16 eclectic artisans and entrepreneurs,
who have set up shop in restored historic buildings. Mill Race Village
