Historic downtown, PATCO access and a distinctive identity

Haddonfield is one of South Jersey's best-known historic boroughs, pairing a walkable Kings Highway and Haddon Avenue business district with preserved architecture, Revolutionary-era sites, independent shops and restaurants, and direct PATCO rail service to Philadelphia.

Boundary note: Haddonfield Borough is separate from Haddon Township and Haddon Heights. A “Haddonfield” mailing address can sometimes appear on properties in neighboring municipalities, so NJTGO uses the actual municipal boundary for listings.
