Centerville Homes for Sale

Centerville is an urban neighborhood on the southern edge of Camden, New Jersey. The area has faced challenges with urban blight and vacancy, but ongoing redevelopment efforts are bringing improvements, including modern apartments and mixed-income townhomes replacing outdated public housing. The community is primarily renter-occupied, with about 85% of residents renting their homes. For those looking to buy, options include older rowhomes and twin homes, typically featuring brick exteriors and narrow fenced-in backyards. Street parking is common. To enhance safety, the Camden County Police Department employs a Unity Policing Model that collaborates with residents and local businesses. The neighborhood is well-connected by public transportation, with New Jersey Transit buses and the PATCO Speedline providing access to Philadelphia, just 5 miles northwest. Interstate 676 and the Philadelphia International Airport, 12 miles away, are also easily accessible. Local amenities include restaurants and corner stores along Ferry Avenue, such as Fu Hing Restaurant & Seafood Shack and Alex’s Bakery & Food Store. Staley Park offers recreational facilities, while Elijah Perry Park is undergoing renovations to address environmental concerns. The Riletta L. Cream Ferry Avenue Branch Library provides community programming. Centerville is close to Camden’s Central Waterfront, home to the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion and Wiggins Waterfront Park, and less than 2 miles from Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, which features South Jersey’s only transplant and organ health program.
