For medical residents, nurses and graduate students working or studying in Camden, Collingswood is one of the easiest places to live: the Collingswood PATCO station is two stops from Broadway station in downtown Camden and three from City Hall station, one block from Rutgers University–Camden, and Cooper University Hospital is a short drive away. Parkview Towers Apartments, at 700 W Browning Road, gives you a quieter home base with a pool, fitness center and studios from 390 square feet, without giving up an easy commute.

How far is Collingswood from Cooper University Hospital and Rutgers–Camden?

The Collingswood PATCO station is on South Atlantic Avenue, about a mile from Parkview Towers. Drive times vary with traffic.

Why do medical residents and nurses choose Collingswood?

Cooper University Hospital is South Jersey’s academic medical center: a Level I trauma center with more than 600 beds and the teaching hospital for Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. Long, irregular shifts make three things matter most: a short commute, a quiet place to sleep, and somewhere to decompress.

• Commute. Driving is quick, and PATCO runs around the clock, which matters when your shift ends at 3 a.m.
• Quiet. Parkview Towers sits on 13 landscaped acres, set back from downtown Camden.
• Decompress. A resort-style pool and sundeck, a fitness center and a tennis court are on site, and Cooper River Park is close by.
• Help when you need it. Maintenance emergencies are handled 24/7.

What should grad students look for in an apartment near Camden?

• A layout that fits your budget. Our studio is 390 square feet, and one-bedrooms run from 510 to 809 square feet, so you can choose compact or room for a real desk.
• A roommate option. Two-bedrooms run 743 to 950 square feet.
• A lease that fits your program. Standard leases are 12 months, and shorter terms are available for an additional fee.
• Transit to class. PATCO’s City Hall station is one block from Rutgers–Camden, and a bus stop sits about a block from Parkview Towers on Browning Road.
• A life outside the library. Collingswood’s Haddon Avenue is known for its restaurants. The town is dry, so most are BYOB, which keeps dinner out affordable.
