As one of America's oldest cities and the home of Campbell's Soup Company since 1869, Camden sits along the Delaware River directly across from Philadelphia, offering house rentals with convenient access to both cities via the Ben Franklin Bridge and extensive public transportation options. Houses for rent in Camden provide easy access to the city's robust healthcare and education sector, which accounts for 45% of local employment through institutions like Cooper University Hospital, Rutgers University-Camden, and Rowan University. The average commute to Center City Philadelphia takes approximately 15 minutes by car or PATCO high-speed line.

The Cooper Grant neighborhood, adjacent to Rutgers-Camden and the waterfront district, features historic architecture near attractions like the Adventure Aquarium and Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. Cramer Hill offers rental homes with river views and quick access to the Admiral Wilson Boulevard for commuters. The Parkside district features tree-lined streets with historic houses for rent near Cooper River Park, which spans 346 acres and offers rowing facilities, a 3.7-mile trail loop, and sports fields. Transportation options include the PATCO speedline to Philadelphia, the River Line light rail to Trenton, and multiple NJ Transit bus routes. Major employers headquartered in Camden include Campbell Soup Company, Subaru of America, and American Water, while the expanding healthcare sector includes Cooper University Hospital and Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital.
