Views of the Philadelphia skyline meet riverfront living
Brushing Pennsylvania and New Jersey’s aquatic border, North Camden serves as a gateway to Center City. The Delaware River encircles half of this small neighborhood, while the Cooper River runs through its east side like an artery. Beautiful views combined with development projects in the works are bringing enthusiasm to an area that 8,000 people call home. Crime has been a concern in recent years, but the Camden County Police Department has taken steps to amend its enforcement approach. An air of change, coupled with a waterfront location and affordable homes, creates a market for certain buyers.
Visitors frequent Wiggins Waterfront Park for skyline views of Philadelphia across the river.

A surprising amount to do in this small neighborhood
Waterfront parks are one of North Camden’s defining features. “It’s a beautiful area,” says Realtor Carol Terrell of Keller Williams Realty. “There are a lot of parks for children, and they’ve updated the playgrounds.” Pyne Point Park's allure for kids is a playground, coupled with ball fields and basketball courts. Folks can also enjoy views of the river from the rocky shore or launch a boat from the dedicated boat ramp. For more breathtaking views, Cooper’s Poynt Park is a short walk to the western waterfront. While the kids are burning energy at the fenced-in playground, relax in the wide-open field and stay to watch the sunset behind the Center City skyline. North Camden is also home to some unlikely attractions. On the west side sits the Adventure Aquarium, complete with an underwater tunnel allowing sharks and other sea life to surround visitors inside the clear passage. For live music outdoors, residents benefit from their own venue on the water: the Fredoom Mortgage Pavilion. International acts pass through Camden to play here. Also nearby is the Walt Whitman House, for Literature buffs to peruse.

Established rowhouses populate North Camden

Limited restaurants and groceries in the area
There aren’t many opportunities for shopping in the immediate area. The Market Gourmet supermarket sits adjacent to Johnson Park on the southwest end, making it less than a mile walk for residents living closest to the water. Cherry Hill Mall is a short drive east, where locals will find upscale retailers in a modern setting. While there aren’t many restaurants either, Tony & Ruth’s Steaks is a popular spot. Known for their breakfast and cheesesteaks, longtime residents have been coming to the restaurant for years and are remembered by name, giving it a real authentic vibe.

Crime in North Camden
Crime in North Camden is significantly higher than the national average and is a point of concern. According to CAP Index data, residents are far more likely to be the victim of a violent crime or theft compared to national rates. To curtail crime and involve the community, the County has implemented a Unity Policing program. This new method aims to introduce de-escalation and empathy into area policing practices. “It’s not like it used to be,” says Gorman. “It’s significantly better and people can move there and raise a family. I have a lot of hope for North Camden.”
