Runnemede is a borough in Camden County, New Jersey, with a population of 8,468. It's located in between Bellmawr and Gloucester Township and is effectively a suburb of Philadelphia. There are a number of state highways that run through Runnemede, including Route 168 and Route 41, which intersect here. The New Jersey Turnpike passes through the northwest side of town but doesn't have any connections here. You can easily get to Philadephia on the 400 bus of the New Jersey Transit, which is why so many people here commute to Philly for work. The area is located in a coastal plain, so it is pretty flat and low-lying. You're close to the Delaware River and a few hours to the Jersey Shore and Atlantic City! You can also access New York City by bus or train, but that trip is a little bit longer.

Moving to Runnemede

If you're looking for housing for rent in Runnemede, you're going to have a pretty easy time with it. Not only are there a good amount of rental properties available here, there is also a decent vacancy rate. There's a mix of single-family homes, apartment homes and duplexes for rent so it's a good idea to figure out exactly what you want before you start your hunt. What kind of apartment are you looking for? Are you interested in finding a small apartment in an apartment complex? Do you want to look for hi rise apartments? Do you want to be close to public transit so you can leave your car at home most days? Are you planning to bring pets to the apartment? How many roommates will you have?

These are all important factors to consider before you plan your move so that you can reduce the amount of time it takes to search for an apartment. Once you have figured out exactly what it is you want, it's time to start contacting realtors and landlords to start making appointments to see different places. You want to be sure that you get to see a slew of places all over the city, so make appointments with a few different landlords. That way, you'll get to know a little more about the city and where you want to live while you're searching for housing for rent. It won't be too difficult to find a rental apartment if you are diligent and patient.

Moving here, you should know that the best time to look is in the early summer months. The area is popular with students and so many apartments end up vacant when the school year ends and people are transitioning between places to live. When you make appointments to go view apartments, make sure that you show up on time and look professional. You should treat your apartment search like a job hunt and make sure that you make a good first impression! That can be a deal breaker when it comes to scoring your dream home. Be sure to bring all your leasing documents along with you when you go to visit apartments. This includes a copy of your ID, your credit report, bank statements, pay stubs, letter of employment, references, rental application and anything else your landlord might request. Getting all this together beforehand will be a huge help when it comes down to the rental process. You don't want anything to hold you up, so do everything you can early to make sure you score the apartment of your dreams! In addition to this stack of documents, you should also be sure to bring your checkbook. If you see a place you really love, you might want to put a deposit down on it that day to make sure you don't lose it! Of course, more important than your checkbook is making sure you actually have that money in the bank! Expect to pay at least one months' rent and security deposit up front.

Living in Runnemede

Runnemede is a pretty fantastic place to live for so many reason. The weather here is pretty typical of the East Coast. You'll find some pretty chilly winters with a fair amount of snow and fairly mild summers topping off at an 88 degree average on the hottest days.

There are a couple of wineries nearby that make for great day trips! Amalthea Cellars and Sharrott Winery are both great places to stop into and taste some of the wonderful wine that this part of the country has to offer! The area is pretty tiny and consists mostly of pretty tightly spun subdivisions and is primarily made up of single-family homes rather than apartment complexes. The area has a nice mix of residential areas with commercial spots and businesses peppered into it as well as grassy parks and, of course, the small stretches of the Delaware River inviting you over!
