Bergen Square Multifamily Home for Sale

Bergen Square in Camden is a compact neighborhood situated between the Waterfront district and Interstate 676. This community, spanning a 10 by 10 block radius, features walkable streets lined with brick and stucco-clad row houses from the 1800s and early 1900s. Residential properties are interspersed with neighborhood markets and houses of worship, creating a close-knit atmosphere. Despite its proximity to the busy Balzano Marine Terminal, which brings heavy vehicle traffic, the area remains relatively quiet. Street parking and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks are common. The neighborhood has faced economic challenges, but efforts by the Camden County Police Department have led to a significant reduction in crime over the past decade. Community initiatives like The Neighborhood Center and Joseph’s House provide essential services, including food, shelter, and medical care. The Heart of Camden supports first-time home buyers with resources and guidance. Bergen Square residents can enjoy waterfront views of the Philadelphia skyline just a few blocks west or drive 4 miles to Center City via Interstate 676. The nearby Waterfront district, revitalized with attractions like Wiggins Waterfront Park, the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, Camden Children’s Garden, and Adventure Aquarium, offers various recreational activities. While local dining options are limited to a few corner stores and takeout spots, more extensive choices are available in downtown Camden or across the Delaware River. The neighborhood is served by the Camden City School District and public charter schools, with varying ratings. Commuters benefit from easy access to Interstate 676, NJ Transit buses, and the River Link Ferry to Penn’s Landing.
