A tiny borough with its own municipal identity

Hi-Nella is a compact Camden County borough surrounded by Somerdale, Stratford and Gloucester Township. Residential streets and apartment communities make up much of the municipality, while Warwick Road carries the borough's small commercial cluster.

Boundary note: The 08083 mailing area extends beyond Hi-Nella. A Somerdale postal address—or a business using “Hi-Nella” in marketing—does not by itself establish the municipality. NJTGO uses the borough boundary when deciding what belongs in the local directories.
