Walkable borough with a historic downtown
A stroll down Collingswood’s sidewalk-lined streets will reveal a quaint commercial corridor on Haddon Avenue and a lush waterfront green space where sailboats frequently float by along the Cooper River. “It’s got a great traditional downtown vibe. There’s a lot of people who have been wanting to move here; it’s got a huge draw,” says Timothy Belko, a Realtor with Fox & Roach Realtors of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices who specializes in the South Jersey area. The borough’s red-brick storefronts are part of the Collingswood Commercial Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as a year-round destination for the arts, street festivals and more. Besides its small-town charm, Collingswood offers a central location in Camden County less than 10 miles east of Philadelphia.

Early 20th-century homes with traditional charm
Most homes in Collingswood date to the early 20th century and combine historic charm with modern conveniences. Craftsman-style bungalows offer spacious front porches, while Dutch Colonial Revivals feature barn-like gambrel roofs and walk-up attics. Meanwhile, Victorian-style houses with wrap-around porches cast shadows over quaint, Cape Cod-style homes adorned with dormer windows. Some of the borough’s oldest homes can be found in the Collingswood Residential Historic District, which is centered around Knight Park and includes the striking, 19th-century First United Methodist Church. Prices for single-family homes range from around $330,000 for a smaller bungalow to $780,000 for a larger Victorian-style home. “The neat thing about Collingswood is there’s a lot of twin homes, which will be less since you’re attached by that shared wall,” says Matthew Curcio, a real estate agent with Real Broker, LLC who has over 20 years of experience in the area. Traditional twin homes and red-brick townhouses range from around $150,000 to $345,000. Homebuyers will also find new construction scattered throughout the borough, with new traditional homes selling for about $800,000 to $900,000.
