Riverside living, right outside Downtown Newark
Manor Section is an increasingly sought-after neighborhood, much like Arlington next door, because it’s feeding on the growth emerging from Downtown Newark. “Rutgers University started revitalizing everything around it, and now you’re seeing all sorts of homes being renovated,” says Thomas Mosera, a real estate agent with Keller Williams. Indeed, part of the charm of Manor Section –as one might imagine from the neighborhood’s stately name– is the ability to walk past ornate classic homes with impeccably maintained facades. Plus, with the Passaic River on the west end offering plenty of outdoor recreation and Kearny Avenue on the east end offering lots of retail, this slender neighborhood aims to offer an engaging urban experience that nevertheless feels a bit historic, especially with monumental brick landmarks like the Sacred Heart Chapel overlooking the Passaic.
Manor Section residents have easy access to the Passaic River.

Classic home styles, from minimalist ranches to ornate colonials
Some properties in Manor Section can lean towards a ranch or minimal traditional style with a sidewalk out front and a small stretch of yard out back. Modest in appearance and containing two bedrooms, these 1,000 square foot homes are priced in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. But two-story homes are more representative of the Manor Section experience, and these stand out not only for their front yards but also the vivid colors they appear in, like earthy tans and grassy greens. Homes with colonial stylings and three or four bedrooms are priced in the $550,000 to $600,000 range. In the upper $700,000s there are five-bedroom colonials with Craftsman-esque renovations, such as stone and steel accents. The neighborhood scores a 3 out of 10 on the CAP crime index.

Dining on Kearney Avenue
Kearny Avenue is the main commercial corridor of Manor Section, and it’s lined with a variety of Latin American eateries like Brasas Grill, a polished Brazilian restaurant. Places to grab coffee and baked goods also populate the avenue, such as Vicentes Bread Kitchen & Cafe, which is known for its fruit tart pastries. Other conveniences, like Walgreens, are also located along this strip. The Kearny Plaza Shopping Center on the south side provides big box amenities like Target, but residents can also grab fresh produce at the Passaic Avenue Farmers Market, open daily in front of the shopping center.
