A refinery town grows in new ways
Bayway’s economy grew through the oil refinery industry, but people seek out this neighborhood outside of Downtown Elizabeth for other reasons now, like a growing housing supply, access to key transportation routes, retail and park amenities. “There’s a lot of new construction coming to this area,” says Rosmena DeSa, a realtor with RE/MAX New Millenium Group. “As soon as these properties come on the market, they tend to go under contract.” There are intangible aspects attracting new residents, too: people value how Bayway is less transient than other communities. "The neighborhood is known for being a stable community," says Pedro Oliveira, a broker with RE/MAX in Action.
Bayway, with its location and close-knit community, is a fantastic place to come home to.
Most houses in the Bayway area are around 100 years old and sit on tree-lined streets.

Multi-family homes define Bayway
"There is a great desire for multi-family homes in Bayway," Oliveira says. "Once settled, people stay for awhile in their homes.” There are many options within this genre, however. For example, many of these properties have colonial features with sharp gabled rooflines, covered front doors and a stocky symmetrical base. But there are slightly Victorian stylings, too, with bay windows and taller, elongated profiles. A four-bedroom version can cost $550,000. “It’s attractive to first-time homebuyers,” says DeSa. “These can go fast, too, if they’re in good shape.” Meanwhile, six-bedroom versions are priced in the upper $600,000s. It’s the seven-bedroom or eight-bedroom homes that take buyers into the $700,000 to $800,000 range. Many of these feature vinyl siding, but some are brick. Overall, though, homebuyers should know most of these homes were built around the turn of the century. Small landscaping notes like hedges and trees may be present. As for single-owner homes, these will have comparatively larger yards. Plus, being built in the 2020s they will exude a modern style with Craftsman features like stone accents. Three-bedroom newly built homes go for $700,000.

Latin American food on Bayway Avenue
Even though Bayway is a suburb of Downtown Elizabeth, it has a diverse restaurant scene. Latin American cuisine is strongly represented: one can find Peruvian, Colombian and Salvadoran food. There’s also Mexican, Spanish and Cuban cuisine. Many of these are clustered around Bayway Avenue, like Tiki Mojito, a Cuban restaurant with outdoor seating, extensive bar and frequent music events. Casual options include pizza places, barbeque restaurants and coffee shops. Santillo's Brick Oven Pizza has been open since 1918, serving slices from the bottom floor of a residential building. "It feels like you're eating a home cooked meal, something a grandmother would make," says Sagrario Javier, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty. For groceries, many residents choose Seabra's Market and Shop Rite of Elizabeth. The Mills at Jersey Garden mall offers a movie theater and several outlets like Coach, New Balance, Levi's and Under Armour.
