Common Interior Features in Blackwood
Ceiling Heights
Predominantly 8ft ceilings. Some split-levels may have slightly vaulted family rooms.
Wall Materials
Drywall is most common. Plaster can be found in the small number of pre-1940s homes. Wood paneling in basements and family rooms of 1960s-70s homes is very common.
Trim & Molding
Simple, functional trim. Clam-shell or colonial-style casings are typical. Stained pine or painted white are equally common.
Kitchen Cabinets
Original kitchens often feature flat-panel wood or laminate cabinets. Many have been updated by homeowners over the years with stock cabinets from home improvement stores.
Fireplaces
Less common than in more affluent suburbs, but some ranches and split-levels feature a simple brick fireplace.
Staircases
Functional, carpeted staircases are the norm in multi-story homes. Simple wooden handrails.

Interior Painting Across Blackwood Neighborhoods
Experience with homes throughout Blackwood
Gloucester Township
Blackwood is the largest unincorporated community within Gloucester Twp. Neighborhoods are typically named by their developer (e.g., Millbridge, Broadmoor).
Painting Notes: The housing is fairly uniform, consisting of developments built from the 1950s-70s.
Lakeland
Area surrounding Camden County College, with many smaller ranch homes and garden apartments.
Painting Notes: High turnover due to rentals. Landlords and tenants look for durable, neutral paint jobs.
Blenheim
A section with a high concentration of 1950s and 60s Cape Cods and small ranches.
Painting Notes: Common projects are brightening up small rooms and painting awkward angled ceilings in upstairs bedrooms.

In this market, cleanliness and a 'move-in ready' feel are paramount. Paint is the most affordable way to achieve this. Sellers who paint over dated colors and finishes can expect their homes to sell faster than those that appear neglected.
