A busy neighborhood
Liberty Park is an urban neighborhood in central Camden across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. The community is bordered to the west by Interstate 676 and to the east by Black Horse Pike. It is a busy, working-class community of rowhouses, multi-family homes and commercial businesses. Like most of Camden, the area has experienced its share of economic hardship and high crime rates — the CAP index score for this neighborhood is 8/10. Vacant lots and boarded-up buildings are common. The challenges in Liberty Park can differ widely, even within a small area. “The neighborhood varies from block to block,” says Nicholas Rodriguez, a Realtor with Wiechert Realtors — Cherry Hill. “That includes the quality of the homes and the overall road conditions. Some of the streets are really nicely paved, others not so much. Sometimes, there’s not a lot of off-street parking available.”

Row homes and renovations
Most homes in the neighborhood are primarily brick and stucco row houses, duplexes and townhouses. The streets here are laid out uniformly in a grid fashion. While Camden’s Central Waterfront and other neighborhoods are seeing somewhat of a resurgence following recent redevelopment projects, home prices in Liberty Park have remained low. “People do like the prices of homes here,” says Rodriguez. “And there are a lot of recently renovated homes to show.” Prospective buyers should expect to pay between $100,000 and $190,000 for a three-bedroom home.

Playgrounds, parks and piers
The community’s largest green space, the 14-acre Robert Johnson Park, was closed several years ago due to ground contamination. In June 2023, city officials announced a $1 million EPA grant was awarded to clean up the park. Remediation efforts are underway. In the meantime, children and families may safely play at the playgrounds and basketball courts in a small section of the park next to the Isabell Miller Community Center. During the summer, the city opens a public pool at the center. Nearby Whitman Square Park features a playground, basketball courts, a small garden and benches. Residents can drive or walk to the Michael J. Doyle Fishing Pier on the banks of the Delaware River. The dock, named after a Catholic priest who worked diligently to improve living conditions in the area, provides locals with fishing and grilling opportunities. The pier also offers stunning views of the Philadelphia skyline and allows access to the city’s 1.2-mile Waterfront Walkway.

The event features top-name music artists, food vendors and, at dusk, fireworks.

Small shops and big flavors
The neighborhood’s three main commercial thoroughfares – Carl Miller Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue and Black Horse Pike – feature eateries, hair salons, shops and food markets. Forbidden Look Boutique on Black Horse Pike sells the latest in women’s fashion. Residents can walk to local grocery stores like Alomonte or Martinez. For larger grocery trips, there is an Aldi just outside the neighborhood. Realtor Rodriguez says the area is home to some very good restaurants, including Donkey’s Place, which he says serves delicious cheesesteaks. Other dining options include pizzerias, Chinese takeout spots and restaurants that serve Jamaican and Latino cuisines. Locals can end the day at Wildfire Bar & Lounge which serves Caribbean food and offers daily drink specials.
