North End Houses for Sale

North End, located at the northern tip of Elizabeth and less than 20 miles from New York City, is a culturally rich and convenient neighborhood with a serene suburban atmosphere. The area is known for its diverse multicultural community, with significant Portuguese and Spanish influences. The neighborhood features a mix of recent developments and historic roots dating back to the 1920s, with homes primarily consisting of Colonial Revivals and traditional styles. Multifamily houses are also common. North End offers a variety of unique restaurants, including El Fogon Paisa for Colombian cuisine, Algarve Barbeque for Portuguese barbecue, Roc’s Café for coffee and pastries, and Medina’s Deli for classic New Jersey breakfast. Grocery shopping is convenient with Citi Grocer and ShopRite nearby, while retail options are available in Clifton and Paramus. Annual events like Portugal Day and the Tour De Elizabeth celebrate the community's heritage and provide recreational opportunities. For education, students can attend Robert Morris School No. 18 for pre-K through 8th grade and Elizabeth High School, which has a high rating and a Blue Ribbon from the Department of Education. The Jewish Educational Center Lower School is also an option. Kellogg Park, Sissleman Baseball Field, and the Elizabeth River Trail offer outdoor activities and scenic views. North End has a New Jersey Transit train station with limited service to Newark Airport and Penn Station, and car owners benefit from access to the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. However, the proximity to public transportation and highways can result in some noise.
