Living in Timber Creek
Timber Creek is a townhome community in Lindenwold Borough, built in 1973 on two streets off Laurel Road — Timber Creek Road and Greenwood Drive. The rows are laid out in staggered clusters around interior parking rather than along a through street, and the eastern edge of the community backs to woods and the creek the place is named for. It is one of the larger attached communities in this part of Camden County and consistently one of the most active, with inventory turning over year-round rather than in occasional bursts.
The floor plans are two stories, and the range is wider than a 1970s townhome community usually offers. The smallest units run just under a thousand square feet with two bedrooms and a single bath upstairs over a living room, dining room and kitchen. From there the plans step up through roughly eleven hundred, thirteen hundred, fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred square feet, adding a half bath on the main floor, a second full bath upstairs, and in the larger plans a main-level den that owners use as an office, a guest room or a third bedroom. Both interior-row and end-of-row units trade here, and the end units are worth waiting for — more light on three sides and more usable ground beside them.
Construction is frame on a slab, which is standard for the era and worth knowing: there are no basements in this community and no garages. Parking is in the lots rather than in driveways. Mechanicals are natural gas forced air with central air conditioning, public water and public sewer. A number of the units carry a brick wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and washer and dryer are in the unit rather than in a shared laundry.
The association is the reason a lot of people buy here. The monthly fee covers the grounds and lawn care, exterior building maintenance, parking, snow removal, trash and management, along with the amenities — a swimming pool, tennis courts and a tot lot. There is also a capital contribution collected at closing, separate from the monthly fee, so factor it into settlement rather than being surprised by it. Management is handled by an outside company.
One thing to be clear about, because the name causes real confusion in Camden County: this community is in Lindenwold Borough, and the homes here feed Lindenwold Borough Public Schools and Lindenwold High School. The Timber Creek name appears elsewhere in the county attached to a different municipality entirely. If schools are driving your search, that distinction is the whole ballgame, and it is the single most common mix-up on this community.
Laurel Road puts the White Horse Pike, Route 30 and the Atlantic City Expressway within a short drive, and the PATCO line runs through the borough for anyone commuting into Philadelphia. For the rest of the attached market here, see Lindenwold condos and townhomes; for where these units have actually been closing, see recently sold homes.
