Diversity and community in Cramer Hill
One of East Camden’s most historic neighborhoods, Cramer Hill sits along the Delaware River, a skip from downtown Camden and a hop over from Philadelphia. Just beyond what’s known as the gateway into South Jersey, Cramer Hill marks where Camden’s suburbs start emerging. The neighborhood’s namesake, Alfred Cramer, began to form the community in the late 1800s. Over a century later, Tito Santiago, a local Realtor with Garden State Properties Group with over 30 years of experience, describes it as one of the city’s more favorable neighborhoods due to the residents’ strong sense of community and efforts to maintain their homes. “The best area in Camden would be Cramer Hill,” Santiago says. Residents here enjoy waterfront access, local businesses and numerous plans that aim to revitalize and uplift the community, like the Cramer Hill 2023 Neighborhood Plan.
Cramer Hill residents have easy access to the city of Philadelphia.

A blend of urban and suburban
The community has a mixed urban-suburban feel, with homes from the late 19th century still intact. Brick rowhomes, bungalows and colonial-style homes sit alongside grid-lined streets. These prices typically start at the low $100,000, with fixer-uppers and vacant lots priced under $100,000. As a result of the Cramer Hill 2023 Neighborhood Plan, renovated homes boasting modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances and new vinyl floors are also popping up, with price tags that range from the upper $100,000s to the mid $200,000s. According to the CAP Index, Cramer Hill earns a crime score of 7 out of 10, well above the national average of 4. However, city crime rates have fallen across the board since 2012, while the 2023 neighborhood plan addresses other issues to combat crime through community-building initiatives, supporting entrepreneurship, and improving infrastructure and the overall environment.

Community events and classes
Camden City holds numerous events throughout the year, ranging from Outdoor Movie Series held at differing city parks from June to August to major events like East Camden Multicultural Day in Dudley Grange Park. However, Cramer Hill is also home to numerous houses of worship and community centers, like Sisters of Saint Joseph (SSJ) Neighborhood Center, which holds small community events and offers resources to the community year-round. “We hold ESL classes every week; you just need to bring your ID,” says Karla Estrada, an SSJ Neighborhood Center employee. “We also hold a M.A.M.I.S class on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. It’s like a mom’s support group where you get a little gift like diapers at the end of each session.” Apart from these classes, the center also offers a food pantry, clothing, a notary, and access and assistance in the computer lab.
The community of Cramer Hill comes together at Sister of Saint Joseph for local events.
