New Residents Arrive in Camden

Victor's first tenants boost an area that isn't conditioned to move-ins

The city's touristy waterfront officially became a residential neighborhood yesterday, its first residents squeezing through a mob of politicians and cameras to settle into their new luxury lofts.

Does the addition of residents to Camden's riverfront signal a renaissance or is thinking of Camden as the next Hoboken a little premature? After all, it wasn't till just about every square foot of Manhattan was occupied before the Jersey side really took off, and there's still a lot of open in land in just Northern Liberties.
