Suburban atmosphere, urban access
Sitting just 20 miles from New York City, Broughton Avenue’s green, peaceful suburban streets give the impression of being much farther from the city. The area’s serene suburban atmosphere and unbridled urban access blend to create a lifestyle that’s especially appealing to those coming from the city in recent years. “Broughton is a place people love to live in,” says Pina Pagliuca, real estate agent with EXP Realty and longtime resident of Bloomfield. “It’s a small community, but it feels much larger thanks to being so close to the city – and it’s as welcoming as it is diverse.” For those who want a balance of urban and suburban, Broughton Avenue offers easy access to New York with a quiet place to return to at the end of the day.
If you squint hard enough you can see the NYC skyline from a high enough place in Broughton Ave.
Broughton Ave houses sit rather close together, but far enough for front lawns and backyards.

Older homes from $500,000
Broughton Avenue exudes a retro aesthetic and old-school charm. Most of the homes here are Colonial Revivals, with some Cape Cods and split-levels. “Broughton is made up of really charming older homes,” says Julia Gaffney, Realtor with Keller Williams Prosperity Realty. “People are almost as attracted to the personality and character of the homes as they are the access to the city.” Many of the houses include garages, enclosed front porches, and modest yards with space for gardening. Prices for a single-family home in the neighborhood typically range from $500,000 to 800,000, while available condominiums and townhouses go for $225,000 to $320,000.
