Camden County

Camden real estate continually attracts new residents to the Garden State. Situated just over the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Camden County is one of twenty-one counties that make up the state ofNew Jersey. The county, with a population of roughly half a million, was incorporated in 1844 and named after Charles Pratt, the Earl of Camden. The county seat is the city of Camden. Real estate in the area is readily accessible to jobs in Philadelphia, whose three biggest employers are education, government, and healthcare.

Cherry Hill Township, recently ranked by CNN Money as the 47th Best Place to Live and the 8th Safest Place to Live, is one of Camden’s more attractive residential suburbs. Although it is best known for the Cherry Hill Mall, the East Coast’s first enclosed shopping mall, the township also boasts nineteen award-winning public schools and a drop-out rate of close to zero. In fact, Cherry Hill Township is the first school district in the Northeast to offer International Baccalaureate programs from grades K-12. At the heart of Cherry Hill Township is the Garden State Park, a defunct racetrack that is currently being converted into a 225-acre pedestrian-friendly mixed-use retail and residential community. With so much to offer, it’s easy to see why many looking for Camden real estate choose Cherry Hill.

Despite its big-city amenities and its convenient access to both Philadelphia and Camden, real estate in Cherry Hill Township advocates “Smart Growth,” which seeks to achieve environmental balance by avoiding over-development. The township’s 70,000 residents and 4,000 businesses share space with close to 50 parks and recreational facilities. Words like “quiet” and “clean” are used to describe its neighborhoods, many of which offer such desirable perks as wooded lots, golf course views, and excellent schools.

Like Cherry Hill Township, Haddonfield is another Camden suburb that has managed to hold on to a sense of community while still capitalizing on its proximity to major centers of employment. Haddonfield’s small-town charm is evident in the coffee houses and sidewalk cafés that line its streets, and the more than 200 stores and galleries that have helped earn its reputation as one of the best places to shop in the Delaware Valley. History is also important to the 11,000 residents of Haddonfield, and the borough’s rich heritage is carefully preserved in the more than 480 sites that make up the Haddonfield Historic District. One of these sites is the Indian King Tavern, which became the state’s first State Historic Site in 1903, although ironically, the borough has not issued a liquor license to any Haddonfield establishment since Prohibition.

While a number of other suburbs make up Camden County, they all have one thing in common: location. With Philadelphia just over the river and Camden down the road, the busy Camden County commuter is only ever minutes away from the comforts of home.
