The Metropolitan Collingswood offers one- and two-bedroom apartments in Collingswood, NJ, that are 3.8 miles from the Rutgers University–Camden campus, which serves thousands of undergraduate and graduate students in South Jersey. The campus offers 38 undergraduate majors and 29 graduate programs across four schools and colleges. Its 40-acre campus is located in Camden’s University District, just across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge from Center City Philadelphia and near PATCO and NJ TRANSIT service.
For students, faculty, and university staff, our apartment community puts the campus within reach while giving you a home base near downtown Collingswood’s restaurants, shops, and parks. With a washer and dryer in every apartment, renovated kitchens, and off-street parking, our community offers practical features for days that start with an early class or end with an evening lecture.
Getting to Rutgers University-Camden from Collingswood
You can drive to campus or use PATCO for the trip into Camden. If you drive, allow time for traffic, campus parking, and the walk to your classroom or office. The 3.8-mile distance makes the university nearby, but your arrival time will depend on where your day begins on campus.
Collingswood PATCO Station is approximately one mile from our apartments. From there, take a westbound train toward Philadelphia and exit at City Hall in Camden, three stops away. Walk north on North 5th Street toward campus, approximately two blocks from the station. No train transfer is needed between Collingswood and City Hall.
When planning your commute, include the trip from your apartment to Collingswood Station, the wait for your train, and the walk to your campus building. The PATCO schedule can help you plan around morning classes, evening courses, or your work schedule.
One- and Two-Bedroom Apartments for Life Off Campus
Your apartment should work for the hours you spend at home, too. Compare our one- and two-bedroom floor plans with your furniture, study area, and storage needs in mind. If you need a separate home office, a two-bedroom layout gives you another option to consider.
Every apartment includes an in-home washer and dryer, so laundry can fit between assignments or into an evening at home. Renovated eat-in kitchens include dishwashers, microwaves, and gas ranges, making it easier to cook and clean up on your own schedule. Hardwood flooring and semi-private rear entrances are also among the apartment features, with balconies available in select homes.
Our pet-friendly community also offers a fitness center, professional on-site management, and 24-hour emergency maintenance. Furnished apartments are available, so ask our leasing team about current options and lease terms.
