Cooper Plaza and Lanning Square Neighborhoods

The Cooper Plaza and Lanning Square neighborhoods are directly adjacent to Camden’s Central Business District, along the Broadway commercial corridor. Home of one of Camden's most respected institutions -Cooper University Hospital- and with convinient access to the Waterfront and Walter Rand Transportation Center, Cooper Plaza and Lanning Square are perfect neighborhoods for interested first-time homebuyers.

The Cooper Plaza neighborhood is looking forward to welcoming new students, visitors and residents to the community in 2012, as the new Cooper Medical School of Rowan University opens its doors to its fist class in the fall. The $139 million, six-story medical school, located at Broadway and Benson Street, features classrooms, teaching and research labs, an auditorium and administrative offices.
