Audubon is a small, established Camden County community with a strong neighborhood feel, older homes, a walkable downtown, and convenient access to Philadelphia. Unlike towns built around large subdivisions, Audubon is made up mostly of traditional residential streets, with buyers often comparing areas near Merchant Street, Kings Highway, Haddon Lake, Washington Terrace, Princeton Road, Cedarcroft Avenue, and Edgewood Avenue. Housing includes bungalows, Cape Cods, colonials, ranchers, and traditional two story homes, with many properties dating from the early 1900s through the 1950s. In fact, the median home sold during the past year was built in 1926, reflecting Audubon’s older housing stock. Recent Bright MLS statistics from September 2025 through September 2026 show 95 residential sales, a median closed price of $417,000, an average closed price of $445,047, and a median of only 14 days on the market. Homes averaged about 101 percent of asking price, showing continued buyer demand. Buyers commonly ask about basements, parking, roof and HVAC age, electrical systems, sewer lines, schools, proximity to PATCO, and whether they can walk to shops and restaurants. For sellers, condition and pricing matter because buyers often compare beautifully updated older homes with properties that still need major improvements. Audubon also offers convenient access to the Walt Whitman and Ben Franklin Bridges, Route 30, Route 168, Interstate 295, and nearby New Jersey Turnpike Exit 3. Nearby Haddonfield, Westmont, and Collingswood PATCO stations provide direct service into Philadelphia, with PATCO trips from those stations to Center City generally taking about 18 to 22 minutes.

Audubon’s location is only part of its appeal. West Merchant Street serves as the heart of downtown Audubon, with independently owned restaurants, cafés, shops, and services that give the borough a true small town atmosphere. Local choices include SunPress and other restaurants and cafés along Merchant Street, while Kings Highway and nearby shopping centers provide additional everyday conveniences. (SunPress) Outdoor recreation is another advantage. Haddon Lake Park sits along the edge of Audubon and offers walking paths, fishing, green space, and opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, while Audubon Family Park and the Francis J. Ward Recreation Center host local recreation and community activities. The borough also celebrates Audubon Day, Fourth of July festivities, town wide yard sales, and other annual events that reinforce its community feel. (Audubon NJ) Audubon does not have a borough operated public swimming pool, but nearby Tavistock Hills Swim Club is a membership pool that serves residents of Audubon and surrounding communities. (Tavistock Swim Club) Audubon also has its own public school district, including Audubon Preschool, Haviland Avenue Elementary School, Mansion Avenue Elementary School, and Audubon Junior Senior High School. (Audubon Public Schools) After 31 years helping South Jersey buyers and sellers, I think Audubon’s biggest strengths are its location, established homes, walkable downtown, parks, schools, and convenient Philadelphia commute. It continues to appeal to first time buyers, growing households, longtime South Jersey residents, and buyers who want an older home with character in a close knit community.
