The big problem with Camden, is that the downtown area is full of not only surface parking lots, but large superblocks. This creates somewhat of a barrier between the established Cooper Grant neighborhood, which is where Rutgers-Camden is located, and other amenities. Once development fills these spots, Cooper Grant and Lanning Square won't feel so far apart.
I'm not well-versed in Camden's zoning code, so I won't comment on ground-up developments; however, I think market conditions are becoming favorable for rehabbing.

You're a bit late on that. Lanning Square's been unslumming for a little while.
But the question then becomes ... where after that?
