Description:
Collingswood Station provides big-city access with a quiet, home-town feeling. The recent success of the redeveloped Haddon Avenue main street has allowed many restaurateurs and specialty shops to accommodate a diverse clientele, seven days a week. Kids, seniors and boomers - there is something near Collingswood Station for everyone. Farmers markets, sidewalk festivals, picnics in Knight Park, and concerts in the restored Scottish Rite Auditorium are a short walk from the station. Situated only 16 minutes from Philadelphia, Collingswood is an excellent spot for mixed-use development. A former four-acre downtown lumberyard is now becoming 119 condominiums and 38,000 square feet of commercial space. A number of potential redevelopment opportunities are still available within a quarter mile radius of PATCO's station.
