Lower Vailsburg has easy transportation and nearby recreation
Lower Vailsburg is a commuter suburb in west Newark, offering NJ Transit options and fairly low home prices. The neighborhood has roots that trace back to the early 1900s, when homes quickly popped up and transformed the area into a residential respite from busy downtown Newark. Nowadays, locals can easily access shopping and dining, outdoor recreation and events throughout the Essex County. “There is no shortage of things to do if you live in this area,” says Mark Slade, a Realtor and founder of the Mark Slade Homes Team with Keller Williams Mid-Town Direct. Slade is a Newark local who's been selling homes in the area for over 15 years.
