Lower asking prices and quick commutes
An urban township mainly consisting of homes and a few businesses less than 5 miles from Newark, Irvington offers commuting convenience and properties with lower prices. “It’s a great location for traveling to the city,” says Michael Martinetti of Keller Williams Realty Michael Martinetti Group, who notes the trip to Manhattan is just 30 minutes by car. In addition to offering competitively priced single-family homes, Martinetti says that Irvington’s relatively lower-priced multifamily properties can help make homeownership possible for buyers. “Some people opt to buy a two-family and rent out one half of it to have an affordable monthly payment.”

Detached colonials, many with renovations
Colonial and Dutch Colonial houses make up the majority of the inventory here. Single-family homes are listed for about $270,000 to $450,000. Multifamily homes range in price from $450,000 to $750,000. A state-run program helps qualifying first-time homeowners with down payments, and Martinetti notes that residential development is booming in the area. “More homes are being flipped, which means people are getting recently renovated homes at affordable prices.”

Major highways or an express bus to NYC, and a parkway down the middle
In addition to providing quick access to New York City’s boroughs via Interstate 278 or Interstate 95, the Garden State Parkway runs lengthwise through the neighborhood’s heart, making it a quick commute to other area towns. For public transit, the trip to Port Authority Bus Terminal is about an hour via the 107 express bus. Those who work at nearby Newark Liberty International Airport can get there in about 15 minutes by car. New Jersey Transit stops in Maplewood and Orange are about two miles away. “It’s one of those towns where if you want to work somewhere else, you can jump on the Parkway and go to another town, it’s not a big deal,” said Hernan Castro, a real estate agent at The Real Estate Company.
