Living on the cusp of Camden City
Just minutes away from Gateway Park’s scenic walking trails and within commuting distance to the busy streets of Philadelphia, a more suburban landscape starts emerging in the residential neighborhood of Marlton. “The farther east you get of Camden, the more colonial and suburban it gets,” says Luis Ortiz, a local Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox and Roach Realtors agent with seven years of industry experience. “On that side of Route 130, though, it’s still got plenty of rowhouses and detached single-family homes. It’s where things start transitioning. Located on the Cooper River’s eastern side, Marlton residents share a border with Pennsauken Township, offering residents quieter streets than neighboring Dudley.
Camden locals have a strong pride for their community, including Marlton.
Marlton Ave is the neighborhood's business hub, with many stores along the street.

Rowhomes, twins and Cape Cods
Marlton’s narrow, straight-angled streets feature a mix of rowhouses and some single-family properties along the cusp of Pennsauken Township, making it slightly more expensive than other Camden neighborhoods. Blocks of brick rowhouses with chain link fences enclosing front yards and duplexes are priced between the low $100,000s and the upper $100,000s. Other streets are dotted with small bungalows, Cape Cods and twins that range from around $200,000 to $300,000. Street parking is standard, while a few single-family homes feature detached garages. According to the CAP Index, Marlton earns a crime score of 9 out of 10, well above the national average of 4. However, city crime rates have fallen within the past ten years, with homicides dropping by 60% and overall crime reducing by 44%. However, the nearby Rutgers University is a significant player in Camden’s revitalization and community initiatives. Rutgers offers a range of programs to develop the greater community through education, economic development, law and public policy, notes Caroline Brobeil, Rutgers Senior Public Relations Specialist.
Toward the east side of Marlton, you'll find single family houses like this Cape Cod and ranch.

Short commutes to downtown Philadelphia
Residents can head about 5 miles across the historic Benjamin Franklin Bridge, a part of Interstate 676, to get to Philadelphia’s Center City or enjoy a range of events along Downtown Camden’s waterfront less than 3 miles away. Public transportation is available, with bus stops scattered along Marlton Pike and Baird Boulevard. Philadelphia International Airport is about a 13-to-15-mile drive on either Interstate 95 or 76, while other essential establishments like Cooper University Hospital and Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital are within a 2 mile radius.

Scenic strolls along Cooper River
Tucked along the Cooper River, the Marlton residents are minutes away from Gateway Park’s trails that parallel the waterway. Across the river, people gather in Farnham Park for afternoons on the playground or riverside strolls. “It gets used by a lot of people, mostly folks from outside the area who come on weekends during the day,” says Tito Santiago, a local Realtor with Garden State Properties Group with over 30 years of experience in the industry. Small pocket parks like Mickel / Eutaw and Mcguire Gardens Park offer more outdoor retreats, with a playground and basketball court. The massive Boys and Girls Club of Camden County is less than 1 mile away for after-school programs and summer camps. The club also offers mentoring, tutoring, and overall fitness programs for the neighborhood’s youth. On the weekends, locals also enjoy circling the rink and listening to new pop songs and retro hits at Millenium Skate World.

One community, two school districts
Students in the community are divided by Camden City and Pennsauken School Districts. Depending on the neighborhood, the area’s youngest students attend either Albert E. Burling Elementary in Pennsauken, which scores a C-plus on Niche, or Octavius V. Catto Family School, which earns a C-minus. At the secondary level, Camden students stay at Dudley before heading to the C-minus-rated Eastside High School, which plans to open a new campus by 2029. In the meantime, those zoned to Eastside High will attend the Cramer School. Camden City students also can apply for various charter and renaissance schools. On the other side of the community, students may attend C-rated schools like Pennsauken Intermediate for 4th and 5th grade and Howard M. Phifer Middle before moving on to the B-minus-rated Pennsauken High.
Catto Community School is housed in the same building as the new Boys & Girls Club center.
Eastside High School serves roughly 500 students in the neighborhood.

Cops are here to harass citizens rather than to make Camden a better place. They rather mess with the homeless people and petty drug dealers than to stop real crime. There seems to be many police offers present, but when one is called to duty they take forever to respond .

This area is not too bad compared to the rest of Camden. Although the houses are close together there aren't too many abandoned homes on my street. The home is not horrible on the outside and people near this specific area keep things up kept.
