Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a very good medium of transportation in this city. It is easy to access a parking spot. It is challenging to move around by bicycle in Camden because there are a good number of hills, and this city has rather poor cycling infrastructure. This city is also not very convenient for pedestrians as few daily needs can be met without a car.

Services

Residents will value that no matter where their property is situated in this part of the Columbia metropolitan area, primary schools are nearby. However, locals may consider it difficult to get to high schools as pedestrians. Home owners have the choice between public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. When it comes to food, a vehicle is often required in Camden to access one of about 10 supermarkets. Nonetheless, it is generally a reasonably short distance to the closest pharmacy, which can supply some staple foods. There are also over 50 restaurants and cafes in Camden.

Character

Home buyers who prefer a slower-paced ambience will enjoy Camden. Camden is very quiet overall, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue near the railway line, US Highway 601 or US Highway 1.
