Overview
What Is Woodlynne Like?
Woodlynne is one of the oldest and smallest boroughs in New Jersey, dating back to 1901. Wedged into a one-square-mile footprint between the Delaware Riverfront, Collingswood, and Camden, it packs an enormous amount of convenience into a very small space.
The housing stock is almost entirely early 20th-century twin homes and small single-family houses on compact blocks. Prices here are among the very lowest in Camden County, a fact that draws first-time buyers, investors, and anyone who wants a genuine walkable location without the premium of adjacent towns.
Life in Woodlynne is neighborhood-forward. Porches are the social center, the borough's small park holds the community weekend, and the bike ride to Collingswood's restaurant row or the PATCO line takes minutes. For the right buyer, it is an unbeatable value proposition.
Neighborhoods
Woodlynne Blocks & Home Styles
Classic twins: The borough's signature home is the brick or siding twin with a front porch and a small fenced yard. They are compact, efficient, and full of character.
Small singles: Detached bungalows on the quieter one-way streets offer a bit more separation and are especially popular with families.
What to expect: Lots are small and parking is often on-street. Buyers who want the maximum access to Philadelphia, Collingswood, and Camden at the smallest price point will find Woodlynne hard to beat.

Getting Around

Market Insights
The Woodlynne Real Estate Market
Woodlynne operates at the county's entry-level price point. With small homes and small lots, it is a market of first-time buyers and investors. Because the ZIP is shared with the bigger, pricier Oaklyn and Collingswood market, published average prices can mislead; the borough's own closed sales usually sit well below them.

Local Life
Life in Woodlynne
Living in Woodlynne means living within walking distance of three different worlds: the Collingswood restaurant scene, the PATCO line to the city, and the riverfront green of the Camden waterfront.
Walkable Everything
Blockbuster dinners in Collingswood, errands in Camden, and the train to Center City are all a short stroll, ride, or drive from the front porch.
River Green
The riverfront and the Camden County parks sit minutes away for jogging, biking, and long walks along the water.
Small-Town Feel
Porch culture, block parties, and a genuine sense that everyone knows everyone. Woodlynne's small size is its biggest charm.
