Oaklyn, NJ

Tucked between Collingswood and Audubon in Camden County, Oaklyn is a quiet, close-knit South Jersey borough with just under 4,000 residents. Its compact footprint means tree-lined residential streets are within an easy walk of neighborhood parks and the quiet waters of Newton Creek. Positioned right between the White Horse and Black Horse Pikes, the town offers easy access to Philadelphia while keeping the relaxed feel of a classic suburban community.

For everyday living, younger kids attend the local elementary school in town before moving on to neighboring Collingswood for middle and high school. Clinton Avenue serves as the borough's walkable main street, featuring neighborhood eateries, coffee spots, and a local craft brewery. Between the waterside trails along Newton Lake and quick access to PATCO train stations in adjacent towns, Oaklyn offers an approachable, friendly place to put down roots.
