Quiet house-lined streets with single-family homes
Elmora is a quiet, residential neighborhood made up of house-lined streets. One major thoroughfare, Elmora Avenue, has sporadically placed nail salons, convenience stores, an occasional ice cream shop and plentiful gas stations. Historically, it has been divided between the residential district splaying out from Elmora Avenue and the desirable Elmora Hills section at the westernmost tip of Elmora and Elizabeth. Why do homebuyers want to move to here? “People move to Elmora for its family-sized homes and really good, blue-ribbon schools,” says Michael Martinetti, licensed real estate broker at Keller Williams Premiere Properties. And downtown Elizabeth is just blocks from anywhere in the neighborhood. Residents can even see the historic Art Deco Hersch Tower from Elmora’s side streets.

Larger lots and more square feet in Elmora
Real estate in Elmora is made up of primarily prewar, single-family homes. Many are wood-framed construction outfitted with clapboard siding, with some brick siding outliers sprinkled throughout. “Houses here are larger and on bigger lots than those found in Elizabeth,” says Martinelli. “The average single-family home in Elizabeth is just below 2,000 square feet. Conversely, Elmora single-family homes have around 3,000 to 4,000 square feet.” A 1920s Colonial with 3 plus bedrooms fetches between $450,000 to $600,000. A Victorian-style five-plus bedroom with 6,000 plus square feet could list for between $750,000 to $1.1 million.
