Camden, New Jersey, located directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, combines historic architecture with modern development.

Residents benefit from direct access to Philadelphia via the PATCO Speedline and Benjamin Franklin Bridge, while typically finding more affordable rental options compared to Philadelphia proper.

Camden features more than 20 neighborhoods offering diverse housing options from classic rowhouses to contemporary apartment communities. The city's comprehensive public transit system includes the River Line light rail and Walter Rand Transportation Center, connecting residents throughout South Jersey and Philadelphia. Major employers include Cooper University Hospital and the Camden campuses of Rutgers University and Rowan University, while the downtown area continues to see new development projects and infrastructure improvements.
