About Haddon Township, NJ

About Haddon Township, NJ

Haddon Township's blend of cozy neighborhoods and busy corridors

Haddon Township is a suburban community of Camden on the eastern shore of the Delaware River. The town was established around the end of the Revolutionary War and has since been divided into several smaller communities and municipalities. Stylish suburban streets blend with a bustling and revitalized commercial district with schools, parks and downtown areas accessible via metro stations and major thoroughfares. Here you'll find a community of traditional suburban tracts and small-town commercial thoroughfares. Most local businesses and the Port Authority Transit Corporation station are located along Haddon Avenue, which runs right through the town center and runs west for six miles into downtown Camden. Haddon Township's restructuring and proximity to Camden and Philadelphia doesn't diminish its small-town charm.

A mix of Colonial and modern homes with a wide price range

Most of the homes in the area are single-family houses built before the 1980s, with a handful of town houses and condominiums also available. Owing to the community's Revolutionary-era establishment, symmetrical Colonial and Colonial revival houses are a common sight in the township. More contemporary split-level and ranch-style houses are also common; both styles share similar characteristics, like simple open floor plans and plain asymmetrical facades, while the former style has a second story that is cantilevered over the first to maximize square footage without increasing the size of the home lot. Most homes feature large front and back yards, large windows and both paved driveways and street parking. Haddon Township's home prices range from $275,000 for homes between 1,100 and 2,000 square feet to as much as $725,000 or more for homes larger than 2,000 square feet.
