Residential borough close to NYC

Delawanna, in Clifton, is a sprawling residential and business hub that offers residents a quiet life in the suburbs while maintaining easy access to shopping. Some of the neighborhood’s streets are lined with businesses or warehouses, while others have residential pockets with older homes. Located just 9 miles east of Manhattan, the borough offers plenty of ways to commute for work and entertainment. Most of the area is connected by a well-maintained system of sidewalks, making residential areas particularly walkable. “It’s not just a commuter town, it’s a place where people raise families and live there long term,” says Leslie Morrison, Real Estate Sales Agent for Compass New Jersey, who’s been selling homes in the area since 2017.
