Kingston Estates, NJ 4 Apartments for Rent

Kingston Estates is a small community with big ties to rock n' roll royalty. It's just a little over a half mile from where the famous rock star, Bruce Springsteen, made his first local debut.

Kingston Estates is a densely populated suburb sitting right outside Cherry Hill, New Jersey, in Camden County. It's a small community, but has the benefit of a great location, being close to Philadelphia while also being able to maintain that small town feel. It has a small community of about 5,685 people, according to the 2010 census. The town itself is little more than a mile and a half wide, and up until the census in 2010, it had been grouped together with another small suburb called Barclay. After the 2010 census, Barclay and Kingston Estates were officially separated into different entities.

Moving to Kingston Estates

The majority of the residents of Kingston Estates own rather than rent their properties. Apartment rentals in Kingston Estates are available, but renting a home seems to be a more affordable alternative. It is a highly residential area, so there aren't any condo rentals or luxury apartments for rent, but there are well-constructed high-rise one-bedroom apartments and small- to medium-sized homes. Rent tends to be lower here because of the community's small size and because it's further from Philadelphia than other larger more affluent areas, like Cherry Hill. It's very possible to find an apartment in Kingston Estates that has a reasonable rent with relatively little scouring of rental ads and classifieds, but due to the small size of the town, availability of these rentals may be more challenging.
