Suburban atmosphere just 20 miles from NYC
Located less than 20 miles from New York City, Clifton’s Allwood neighborhood is a walkable slice of suburbia – one that allows for urban access despite its relative lack of hustle and bustle. “Allwood is a particularly great location, even among other Clifton neighborhoods,” says Tamayo Oppenheimer, Realtor at Silver and Oak Realty and longtime resident of the area. “It’s a really upscale, well-maintained community that has a lot of people commuting to and from both New York City and Montclair.” And while nearby Montclair is known for its lush nature, Allwood provides plenty of its own greenery and natural beauty – with the Passaic River running nearby, Garrett Mountain just north of the neighborhood, and several parks throughout. Those looking for access to the Big Apple – without feeling like their stuck in the city – may find Allwood’s balance of urban and suburban appealing.
Allwood Avenue runs through the middle of the neighborhood.

Homes with yards that offer room to stretch out
Allwood exudes a vintage suburban atmosphere, with classic styles such as Cape Cod, Colonial Revival, split-levels, and even Tudor-style available. Clifton generally offers homebuyers much more room for much less money than the city does, and Allwood is no different. The neighborhood is made up of tree-lined streets featuring homes with modest-sized yards and room for gardening. “People in Allwood are just as likely to commute to Montclair as they are NYC, so you see some of the same touches you might see in Montclair,” says Oppenheimer. “And that includes really lush yards and green all around.” Prices for a single-family home range from $450,000 to $900,000, with newer construction sometimes going for even higher. Townhouses are found here and there throughout the neighborhood, with prices ranging from $300,000 to $500,000. Thanks to the high presence of industry in Clifton, property taxes tend to be lower – another reason for the area’s popularity and competitive market.

Multicultural offerings and designer brands
Residents will find an eclectic mix of dining options around the neighborhood, with the Allwood Diner serving as the area’s classic go-to spot for all-day breakfast, coffee and comfort food. Francesca’s Bakery offers up classic baguettes and other baked goods, while sourcing its ingredients from local farmers. “The area is very multicultural and diverse,” says Oppenheimer. “And that extends beyond just the people and houses – there are some great spots to grab a bite that really show off the diversity.” Residents can see examples of the area’s multicultural offerings in Sawadeja Thai Restaurant’s authentic curry dishes, or at the ANT Bookstore and Café – which offers visitors coffee, smoothies, or authentic Turkish treats while they peruse the bookshelves. For groceries, residents can restock at Stop & Shop, while the Promenade Shops at Clifton features nationally recognized retailers and designer brands.

Clifton High helps students get a head start
Students can begin at Clifton School No. 9, which earns a Niche score of B-plus. Afterward, students can move on to nearby Brookdale’s Bloomfield Middle School, which earned a B-minus from Niche. Students can then finish up at B-rated Clifton High School. Clifton High has a variety of clubs like drama, mock trial and art club, and offers AP or Honors programs for most courses. Clifton High is also known for its athletic success, with the school producing a number of professional athletes across several different leagues. “I used to drive into Clifton every day specifically for the schools,” says Oppenheimer. “Some of the programs offer things like growing and harvesting vegetables, which is so good for young minds – and not something you’ll find in the city.”

Clifton High School is located in the Athenia neighborhood of Clifton, NJ.

The beautiful Upper Montclair Country Club welcomes its guests with a beautiful entryway.

Allwood Park is a small pocket park offering residents a chance to get active with its playground, basketball court and walking trail. Knollcroft Park has open greenspace and fields, along with picnic areas and another playground. The Upper Montclair Country Club, which slices through the northwest section of Allwood, is a private golf course and social club where members can play 27 rounds across three separate nine-hole courses.
Garden State Parkway makes getting around the area simple
Residents looking to commute to and from Montclair can do so easily, with a quick drive down Passaic Avenue. NYC access is also straightforward thanks to Highway 46 and Garden State Parkway, making it simple to get to the city via car – though traffic is still going to dictate the experience once residents are outside of the neighborhood itself. “Clifton can get very congested at certain times of the day,” says Oppenheimer. “But in general, Allwood is less congested than other neighborhoods.” Residents can also use the bus to get around, with Allwood being the closest neighborhood to the park-and-ride lot that takes travelers in and around the city.
