Elk, Gloucester County
What we see in Elk
Elk Township is a rural township of about 19 square miles in southern Gloucester County, bordered by Clayton, Glassboro, Franklin, Harrison, and South Harrison townships and Upper Pittsgrove in Salem County. It was formed in 1891 and takes its name from elk once hunted in the area. Its places include Aura, Hardingville, Harding, Ferrell, and Monroeville, and most homes use a Monroeville (08343) mailing address. Route 77 and Route 55 cross the township, and it is one of the least densely settled towns in the county.
Selling a house in Elk: what's different here
Open, low-density land
Elk has about 4,400 residents on roughly 19 square miles, ranking 23rd of 24 Gloucester County towns for density. With density that low, many homes sit on larger lots. If the house has a well or septic system, a buyer's lender will usually want them tested before closing. We buy rural Elk properties without making those tests a condition.
Aura, Hardingville, Monroeville
Aura, Hardingville, Harding, Ferrell, and Monroeville are communities within Elk, and the Monroeville post office name covers much of the township. The property, the tax bill, and the deed all sit in Elk Township regardless of the mailing name. We confirm the block and lot before making an offer so there are no surprises at title.
Route 55 and Route 77
Route 77 runs through Elk and the limited-access Route 55 crosses it, while County Routes 538 and 553 carry most local traffic. Older rural homes on these roads can need roofs, heating, or structural work that buyers balk at. We buy Elk houses in their current condition, including ones that have sat empty.

Questions from Elk sellers
Elk FAQ
My parents' house in Aura has a well and septic. Will that hold up a sale to you?
No. We buy Elk homes with private wells and septic systems as-is and do not require you to repair or replace them first.
Do you buy land with an old farmhouse in Elk Township?
Yes. We buy farmhouses and rural homes in Elk, including properties with outbuildings that need work, for cash.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Elk house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Gloucester County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
