Characteristics

Transportation

Camden is an extremely good part of the Dover metropolitan area for moving around by car. On the other hand, residents using public transit may find few options in Camden by reason of the low service level. Thankfully, the town is connected by a few bus lines, and bus stops are generally around the corner. Bicycling is difficult in Camden because there are a fair number of slopes, and there are few bike lanes. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not particularly feasible for house buyers in Camden since few day-to-day errands can be run without a vehicle.

Services

In Camden, locals will typically be able to access both primary and secondary schools as pedestrians. Home owners have the choice between public and private schools at both the elementary and high school level. When it comes to eating, it is very often possible for house buyers in Camden to buy their groceries without a car. A small variety of restaurants and coffee shops can be found as well.

Character

Camden offers a relaxed ambience. Camden is fairly good for those who like a quiet atmosphere, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue - although that is not the case close to the railway line or the airport (Jenkins).
