🏠 A million-dollar home in Medford | Inquirer South Jersey
And the 9/11 artifacts spread across the region.
Good morning, South Jersey.
Although million-dollar homes aren’t super common in the Philly metro area, there are more than 1,000 at that price point currently on the market. In Medford, a prospective buyer can purchase extravagance.
And one of our staff photojournalists visited the locations of artifacts from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks spread across the region, and spoke to residents along the way.
Plus, Gov. Mikie Sherrill broke her silence on the reported investigation into Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell, and more news of the day.

When looking at the $1 million price point in the Philly metro area, house hunters can expect to find features like quartz countertops or soaking tubs in primary bathrooms.
This four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Medford house has both.
The owner fully renovated the home through his flipping business, so the house has updates such as a finished basement and a newly installed gas service.
The home was listed for $1.15 million at the end of April but over the past few months, a sale fell through and the asking price dipped.
The Inquirer’s Michaelle Bond shares more highlights of the property, as well as other homes in the area listed for sale for $1 million. This story is part of our series The Price Point, which compares houses in a certain price range to help readers gauge expectations when looking for a new home.

After Sept. 11, 2001, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey distributed thousands of relics of the terrorist attacks to all 50 states and across the world to commemorate the nearly 3,000 people who died.
More than 150 artifact pieces are in New Jersey. They include:
Brooklawn’s memorial, which features a Pentagon-shaped base that supports a 9-foot-11-inch piece of World Trade Center steel. There are also two stone pedestals supporting relics from Shanksville and the Pentagon.
A memorial in Haddon Township made from steel from the World Trade Center, limestone from the Pentagon, and a stone from Shanksville.
Medford Lakes’ pentagon-shaped concrete pedestal that holds a monument topped with steel from the North Tower.
