Northern Newark
Colonial and ranch-style homes
In Northern Newark, folks live in sizable Colonial-inspired and ranch-style homes. Though some properties are from the midcentury period, contemporary development tracks in this leafy suburb are only a few years or decades old. Home prices start at around $300,000 for decently sized single-family homes with approximately 2,000 square feet of living space. Nearly everyone has an attached garage or a driveway as these are more modern and contemporary homes on winding tree-lined streets. Prices rise in correspondence with square footage and scenery. In neighborhoods immediately around the Newark Reservoir and the William M. Redd Jr. Park, homes nestled under tall leafy trees or in neighborly cul de sacs sell for between $400,000 and $9000,000.

Newark Reservoir and neighborhood parks
Northern Newark’s allure is its access to parks and natural areas ideal for nature hikes, birdwatching and more. In addition to supplying clean drinking water for the city, the Newark Reservoir offers a scenic place for people to jog or stroll at sunrise or dusk. Though most aquatic activities like swimming, boating and fishing are generally prohibited, many gather here to step along its paved 1-mile perimeter trail or bring their children to the playground next to the reservoir’s parking lot. The reservoir trail also connects to creekside trails winding through Redd Jr. Park and Curtis Mill Park. Closer to the downtown area, small neighborhood parks feature basketball courts, baseball fields and other fun amenities.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
