Collingswood

County: Camden

Commuters to Philadelphia can enjoy a suburban lifestyle in a hometown atmosphere just a few miles beyond the busy metropolis in the north-central community of Collingswood.  Ideally located between Camden and Haddonfield, this borough offers mass transit for commuters and easy access to major highways.  The well developed borough offers cultural enrichment that includes a calendar of performances and special events made possible by outreach programs at The Perkins Center for the Arts.  In addition to local shops and services, residents are just minutes from regional malls.  Camden County Park and the Delaware River provide a wide range of opportunities for outdoor recreation and sports activity.  The American Planning Association has designated Haddon Avenue as one of its 10 Great Streets for 2009.  The group chose the street, "for the way it melds the past with the present". Collingswood is the first New Jersey community to be cited under the association's Great Places in America program.
