Overview
Warm Lakeside Living
Clementon is the smallest of the three boroughs sharing the woodsy west side of Camden County. The heart of town is its lake: a calm, tree-lined body of water with parkland and a modest downtown block that has been the borough's anchor for decades.
The housing stock is post-war through 1980s, a blend of cape cods, ranches, and a few larger colonials on the farther side of the lake. Because inventory is moderate and prices are low relative to the rest of the county, Clementon draws first-time buyers and families looking for more space near Philadelphia without the premium price tag.
Life here is casual and outdoorsy. Kids ride bikes to the lake, families fish and paddle on warm weekends, and the PATCO station at Lindenwold puts Center City within commuting distance. It has the character of a small-town summer spot, with all the conveniences of northern Camden County minutes away.
Home Styles
Clementon Homes
Ranch splitlevels: The classic Clementon home is a one-story ranch or split-level built between the 1960s and 1980s, with a big lawn, garage, and mature trees.
Lake-adjacent lots: Properties nearest the water trade extra space for the view and the constant hum of summer, and they are the most sought-after listings when they come available.
Community mix: A healthy range of starter homes and family properties means there is typically something for every budget, from low-entry modernized ranches to larger wooded lots.
