Not many places around the world can say that they were home to a crew member of the Titanic. August Weikman, the Commodore Barber on the Titanic, lived in Palmyra before embarking on that fateful voyage on April 14, 1912.Palmyra is a borough in Burlington County, New Jersey, and has a population of a little under 7,500 and about 3,000 homes. The borough is situated right on the Delaware River, and is well placed for anyone working in Philadelphia and its suburbs. As such, it's home to a thriving commuter community, with most people traveling out of the borough for work.

If you're going to make the commitment to move to Palmyra it's worth considering a few important things first. On the top of the list is the sort of property you're looking to rent. Palmyra has fewer premier apartments for rent than other areas closer to Philly, but you'll still find that nearly 30% of the borough is comprised of apartment blocks. Condos for rent are much rarer, so most people tend to look for rental houses, of which there are plenty in the area.The vacancy rate is, thankfully, a lot better than in Philly itself, which is great if you work there and are looking for somewhere slightly further out of town where rent is cheaper and places are easier to find. About 11 percent of places are vacant in Palmyra, although it's still worth looking for somewhere during the winter season when competition is usually at a lower ebb.

Moving to Palmyra

Before moving to any city, town, borough, CDP, and so on, you're going to have to take a quick tour of the area to check out the different neighborhoods. Here are a few quick notes on what you'll find in Palmyra.Borough Center: There's a high proportion of rowhouses and detached houses here, and a higher than average vacancy rate too, which might make it easier to find a home. It's really walkable here, although you won't find too many amenities like restaurants or shops as it's primarily residential.Cinnaminson Avenue / W. Spring Garden Street: There's a good local park - Legion Field - with a baseball and football field, as well as a couple of tennis courts to enjoy. Milmarian Restaurant and Bar and Villaris Milmarian Restaurant are both well rated by locals.Route 73 S. / W. 5th Street: Most southerly neighborhood bordered by the Delaware River in the west. If you've got kids it's a good spot as Palmyra High School is here, plus you'll have easier access to Philly via transport links to the south. Nature lovers will also appreciate the close proximity to Palmyra Cove Nature Park. It's a great spot for anyone looking for rental apts in Palmyra.

Neighborhoods in Palmyra

As a suburb of Philadelphia, Palmyra is largely a commuter's community, with a lot of the locals riding the rail or jumping in their cars to work in the big city. Railway links are a great way to get to Philly and also up towards New York, while the New Jersey Transit also provides bus links on route 419 between Burlington and Camden.Restaurants and social places of interest are plentiful in the borough, while for a wider array of options and something a big 'bigger' there's always Philly. Manny's Sicilia Pizza, Great Taste Chinese Food, and Curran's Irish Inn are just a few of the eclectic restaurant types you'll find in the area.
