Suburban community with urban access

Sitting at the northern tip of Elizabeth and less than 20 miles from New York City, North End is a blend of culture, convenience, and serene suburban atmosphere. Whether it’s trains to New York City, access to the Newark Airport, a diverse multicultural community or a break from the city, residents of North End enjoy a variety of unique advantages. “It’s a really diverse area, with a lot of Portuguese and Spanish influence,” says Javier Matallana, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty and longtime resident of the area. “And that diversity, along with the convenience, makes the area what it is.”

Diverse community with classic styles

North End features some of the area’s more recent developments, though the neighborhood still has historic roots dating back to the post-automobile boom of the 1920s. The area was a particularly popular spot for immigrants as far as Ireland and Portugal, making the area a melting pot that still reflects its diversity to this day. The community’s homes, mostly comprised of Colonial Revivals and similar traditional styles, range in price from $375,000 to $700,000 – though it’s worth noting that the area includes many multifamily houses as well, with these prices ranging from $500,000 to $1 million. The market in the area is becoming increasingly competitive. “North End is just a very, very desirable neighborhood,” says Victor Nascimento, Realtor with Premier Properties. “You’re just a block away from everything you need.”

Commuting made easy

North End has its own New Jersey Transit train station that offers limited service to both Newark Airport and Penn Station. In addition, car owners have immediate access to the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and more, providing a straightforward commute to Manhattan. Due to the proximity of public transportation, the highway and nearby Newark International Airport, noise can be a potential issue for residents.
