      Burlington is a great suburb location with amazing people all around! Conveniently located in South Jersey and only 30 minutes away from Philadelphia and 45 minutes from New York! Not to mention, Burlington itself is pleasantly beautiful and quiet when you need a break from the city.
      Burlington County is a great place to live for families. The school systems are good and people are very friendly. There are many shops around and malls if you are interested in that. If you are a young professional, the nightlife is very poor. Most people travel to NY, Philadelphia, or DC.
