About
Life in Springdale
If you're considering a move here, understand that Springdale is a quietly prosperous suburb in Camden County—part of the greater Cherry Hill Township area—where you're getting a solidly affluent, family-oriented community rather than a trendy destination. Housing costs are real—median home prices around $493,900—so you're paying for that stability and the school-district reputation that draws families here. The community skews toward older, established residents (median age 45.7 years) and married couples with children, so if you're building a family or looking for a settled, conventional neighborhood vibe, this works; if you want young, hip energy, you might feel a bit out of place.
