Situated on the Delaware River's banks, opposite Center City Philadelphia, Cooper Grant in Camden is a scaled-down replica of the former American capital, replete with waterfront parks and historic structures ideal for leisurely strolls on Sundays or weekend excursions.
Locals from all over the Philadelphia metro region come to this Camden neighborhood because of its picturesque vistas and attractions. So, all the fun and excitement Cooper-Grant has to offer is just a short stroll away if you live here. The majority of the district's buildings, including a former RCA Victor facility, are historic structures from the 1800s and early 1900s that house offices, residences, and cultural institutions. The city is home to Rutgers University's Camden campus. The brick building, which was once used to make record cabinets in the early 20th century, is now home to opulent apartments as well as ground-floor shops and dining establishments. According to Zackery Velez, Victor concierge, other attractions include the Victor Pub, where Frank Sinatra once performed, the Battleship of Camden and the outdoor entertainment venue, the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. Velez adds that the biggest attraction in Camden is across the river — Philadelphia. And, there is always something to do — the City of Camden has a very robust events calendar.

More than 80% of residents rent
One of the most important landmarks in the neighborhood is Johnson Park. Even though the long-closed Cooper Library in the middle of the park is now home to a Rutgers writing center and design lab, many locals still choose to unwind in the park. You can't help but be mesmerized by the expansive views of the reflecting pool before the steps that lead to a row of inspirational Ionic columns in front of the neo-Classic building. The building is flanked by empty lots, a vacant mid-rise tower, redeveloped warehouse lofts, modern university buildings, and historic brick row houses. The CAP Index crime score in the area is a 9 out of 10. The national average is 4.
Few residential properties have sold in the town in recent years, making home sales very uncommon. Merely 20% of the inhabitants possess their own dwellings. You can probably locate red brick townhouses or apartment condos for between $150,000 and $285,000 if committed to buy in the neighborhood. Even if it's more costly than what you'd normally find in Camden, you can still enjoy being on the waterfront and a ton of relaxing and eating options.

Rutgers-Camden partners with the commnuity
The youngest students in the region begin their schooling at the Cooper Poynt Family School, which serves grades PreK–8. The school has a C-minus grade from Niche. They often attend schools in the Camden City School District. Students usually proceed to the recently reconstructed Camden High School from there. The high school also has a C-minus from Niche. The district has housed a number of magnet programs in the building since the school's reopening a few years ago, including the Creative Arts Academy, the Brimm Medical Arts High School, and the Big Picture Learning Academy. Rutgers-Camden campus has a looming presence in the community and plans to continue fostering the relationship. “Rutgers–Camden will continue to be deeply committed to the City of Camden, seeking to develop programs for the good of the greater community in various areas, including education, economic development, and law and public policy,” says Caroline Brobeil, a Rutgers senior public relations specialist. The school’s roots in the community date back to 1926.
Rutgers University has an active campus right inside of Cooper Grant.
