As soon as the leaves start doing that dramatic color-changing thing, you’ll find me leaning allll the way into fall. I’m talking pumpkins, haunted porches, brisk evening strolls, and maybe a pumpkin spice latte or six (don’t judge).

This October, I got out and explored some incredible local events right here in South Jersey — and even got to host one myself! Let’s get into the fun…


Saddler Woods Enchanted Pumpkin Walk

One of my absolute favorite fall nights this year was the Enchanted Pumpkin Walk in Haddon Township. Imagine a glowing trail through the woods with hundreds of carved pumpkins — everything from silly faces to full-on pumpkin artwork.

You’re walking through crunching leaves, kids are giggling, and every pumpkin is cooler than the last. Honestly, it felt straight out of a cozy fall movie.


Washington Ave — Haddonfield Going All In on Spooky Season

After we left Saddler Woods, we headed over to Washington Ave in Haddonfield — and wow. These neighbors do 👏 not 👏 play 👏.

Haunted porches. Fog machines. A creepy clown that personally tried to ruin my night (you’ll see him in my Reel 😅).

Hot chocolate in hand + spooky decorations at every turn = perfection.


Haunted Pirate Ship in Moorestown

Yes, a pirate ship. In a neighborhood. Fully decked out with undead pirates, eerie lighting, and all the “if something jumps out at me, I’m going home” vibes. ☠️

Such a fun spot if you love Halloween thrills — or if you just enjoy watching your kids be braver than you. No judgment.

Community Pumpkin Pop-Up — Over 80 Pumpkins Given Away!

One of the biggest highlights of my fall: hosting a pumpkin pop-up and getting to surprise families with free pumpkins. Seeing kids pick the one (because they absolutely know which one calls to them 😄) was the BEST.

South Jersey pride, community spirit, smiling little faces — that’s what it’s all about.


Quick Real Estate Pulse: South Jersey

While I was out enjoying spooky season, yes… I was still tracking the market! Here’s the quick vibe check:

✅ Homes are still selling quickly when they look great & hit the market at the right price

✅ Buyers are slowly getting a bit more breathing room

✅ Interest + demand remains strong in our fave towns (looking at you, Collingswood, Haddon Twp, Cherry Hill 👀)

If you’re thinking of buying or selling soon, fall is still a surprisingly great moment to make a move — happy to talk strategy!



Go Enjoy Fall Before It Flies By

Whether you’re pumpkin-hunting, house-haunting, or home-shopping… this season in South Jersey delivers. I love how these community traditions bring everyone together — and I’m beyond grateful to be part of it.

Got a favorite fall event I should check out next year? Drop it in the comments or message me! I’m always up for another pumpkin adventure. 🧡
