Whitman Park Homes for Rent

Whitman Park, an urban neighborhood in Camden, is experiencing revitalization with investors rehabbing homes and new developments such as a youth athletic complex in the central Whitman Park. Located 3 miles east of Camden’s waterfront and about 6 miles from Philadelphia via the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the area features primarily 1920s rowhomes with brick exteriors, covered front porches, and narrow fenced-in backyards. Many homes have been recently renovated with modern amenities, though street parking is common due to the rarity of driveways. The Camden County Police Department has installed gunshot-recording microphones and street cameras to discourage crime. Public transportation is accessible with New Jersey Transit buses and the PATCO Speedline’s Ferry Avenue Station, which connects to Philadelphia in about 15 minutes. The Philadelphia International Airport is a 12-mile drive away. Local dining options include Sabor Puebla Taqueria & Café, Crab Stop, Haddon Meat Market, Corrine’s Place, and Donkey’s Place, known for its acclaimed cheesesteaks. For groceries, Aldi is conveniently located less than a mile southeast. Whitman Park itself, a 10-acre green space, was renovated in 2022 and features a state-of-the-art sports complex, while Whitman Square Park offers a playground. Residents are about 2 miles west of Cooper River Park, which has a driving range. The neighborhood is also home to Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, which has the only transplant and organ health program in South Jersey. Community events are organized by Camden Promise Neighborhood, fostering a sense of community through activities like the Whitman Square Summer Fun Series.
