Camden/Pennsauken
Neighborhood in Pennsauken, New Jersey
Camden County 08002, 08109
A part of the Pennsauken township within Camden County, the Camden/Pennsauken neighborhood has a strong sense of hometown pride. "The community is tightly knit, very welcoming, and multicultural. It has always been this way," says Will Lane, a longtime Pennsauken resident.
The community contains a mix of styles that create a varied character along the streetscape. Throughout the roadways are houses with front steps leading to entranceways and garages. The housing stock includes 20th-century dwellings and a handful of newer homes. The area leans heavily toward Cape Cod styles and split levels. But there are also American foursquares and modest raised ranches from the early 1900s. Homes in the neighborhood cost between $175,000 to $350,000 on average. Buyers can expect an average price per square foot between $125 to $200.
"I grew up in Pennsauken since I was in the third grade, and that was over 40 years ago," says Lane. "My wife isn't from here, but she fell in love with the area. This is a family-oriented community, and we decided to raise ours right here, in Pennsauken."
Young residents are served by the Pennsauken Public School District. G.H. Carson Elementary accepts students until the end of third grade. Fourth and fifth graders spend the day at Pennsauken Intermediate School. Both schools received a C on Niche. These young minds will eventually move on to graduate from Pennsauken High, which earned a B- on Niche. The high school promises a number of CTE programs, including Welding, Culinary Arts, Carpentry, Automotive Technology, and other offerings. Local students can look forward to the upcoming renovations of Roosevelt STEM School. The public school will expand academic programs for kindergarten to eighth graders. Parents may also choose nearby private options: Bishop Eustace Prep, Camden Catholic High, or JDT Christian Academy.
Camden/Pennsauken has ample opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Some locals spend time at Cooper River Park for the large track, bocce court or the William G. Rohrer Children's Playground. This is also an excellent location for fishing or boating at the Cooper River Yacht Club. Veteran Island is adjacent to this riverfront park; a bridge stretches from the mainland across the water, leading to shading trees and peaceful views. Lena Skelly Park is a smaller neighborhood spot to relax after a long day. Avid golfers can practice their swing at the Camden County Driving Range or tee off at the nearby Merchantville Country Club.
Most of the community's commerce is along Kaighn Avenue, where retail and dining opportunities await. Here, you'll find a Walmart Supercenter and department stores. Those looking to save can find consignment items and second-hand treasures at 2A Thrift Superstore or Habitat for Humanity ReStore within the community. Locals may pick up groceries and home supplies at Supremo Foodmarket or Lidl. For a taste of old Pennsauken, head to Weber's, a popular drive-in spot in the area since the 1950s. To the south is LaScala Birra, a popular Italian-style restaurant with views of the Cooper River. To the south, heavy industry is significantly concentrated along the riverfront.
Lane, who also founded the local youth and family empowerment organization, A Champion's Heart Inc., says the township benefits from several faith-based and proactive nonprofit organizations that support the area. "This strong community helped shape me into the socially conscious man I am today," Lane says.
