Urban neighborhood in Camden County
Whitman Park is an urban neighborhood at the forefront of Camden’s revitalization efforts. “It’s slowly rebuilding itself. A lot of investors are coming in and rehabbing the homes,” says Carol Terrell, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty who has been selling homes in the area for over 12 years. Recent redevelopment efforts include remodeled homes and a new youth athletic complex in the neighborhood’s namesake park. The community is centrally located just 3 miles east of Camden’s waterfront attractions, and Philadelphia is about a 6-mile drive away across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.

Rowhomes with street parking
Rowhomes line Whitman Park’s narrow streets. Most homes were built around the 1920s and feature brick exteriors, covered front porches and narrow fenced-in backyards. Driveways are rare, and street parking is the norm for the neighborhood. While some homes are over a century old, many have seen recent renovations and have updated kitchens, new appliances and finished basements. “There are some empty lots next to homes where people have started planting gardens. It’s really nice to see,” Terrell says. Rowhomes range from around $55,000 for a three-bedroom needing repair to about $230,000 for a three-bedroom with recent renovations and modern amenities. First-time homebuyers may qualify for the City of Camden’s First Time Homebuyer’s Program, which offers applicants a one-time deferred loan of up to $14,999. Whitman Park has a CAP Index Crime Score of 7 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4. This overall Crime Score is primarily driven by higher-than-average scores for violent crimes. The Camden County Police Department installed gunshot-recording microphones and street cameras in the neighborhood to discourage crime.
Whitman Park residents have nice size sidewalks to safely walk in the neighborhood.
The Whitman Park neighborhood is made up of row homes and twins built in the 1920s.

I can say I can get everything I need in camden, but mostly the prices are too expensive, the quality is sub par to other major franchises and businesses, and the businesses we have are few compared to how many we could or should have.

In camden you can find somewhere to get a drink or eat out. Whether the places you go are healthy is up for questioning.
