Shopping hubs and quick commutes from Hazel
Hazel is a Clifton neighborhood offering single-family homes with quick access to shops and popular NJ Transit options. The city was incorporated in 1917 and has long served as a commercial hub for North Jersey and a bedroom community for The Big Apple. Clifton’s compact design also creates a tight-knit community that gathers for various events throughout the year. “It still feels like a small town even though Clifton is a larger city,” says Joseph Scotto, a sales associate with Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area since 2016.
With only a 15 minute commute to the Lincoln Tunnel, it's easy getting to NYC from Delawanna.
The Clifton Food and Music Festival has live music and dancing for everyone to enjoy.

Clifton’s Train Station, located 2 miles south, runs to Hoboken Station, which has access to the PATH line that stops on 33rd Street in New York City.
