Urban community along the Passaic River
North Broadway is an urban community in Newark with a mix of residential and industrial zoning, the latter being clustered in its northeast section along the Passaic River. Streets and buildings are tucked tightly together, with the only green space being the parks and cemeteries that divide Newark’s neighborhoods. With Newark’s recent revitalization efforts, most single-family homes in the area have been demolished and apartments, condos and multi-family homes remain. Space for future development is scarce here, and any open lots are quickly filled with new construction. “If there’s land to build on, they will use it,” says Jessica Davidson, a Real Estate Salesperson with ERA Justin Realty Co., who’s been selling homes around the area since 2016.
North Broadway has something for everyone looking for a new place to call home.
North Broadway has easy access to public transit, schools, and parks.

North Broadway's multi-family rowhouses start in the $500,000s
While apartments and condos make up most of the neighborhood’s available properties, a small chunk of multi-family rowhouses remain. These homes were either built in the early 20th century or demolished and rebuilt in the 21st century as renter-focused properties. Houses range from three to 10 bedrooms and typically sell for $500,000 to $800,000. Two-bedroom condos in the neighborhood usually go for $200,000 to $400,000.

Indoor and outdoor sports facilities at The Waterfront
Along the Passaic River, The Waterfront recreation center has indoor basketball courts, a gym and outdoor soccer fields. Hendricks Field Golf Course is an 18-hole facility just north of the neighborhood. Nearby is also Branch Brook Park, a 360-acre green space with a 5-mile looping trail, sports facilities and a playground. Newark locals also visit the park in the spring to see the thousands of Cherry Blossom trees bloom. “With the American Dream Mall open, we now have that indoor option nearby as well,” says Davidson. The mall is the largest in the United States and features a water and amusement park, shopping, dining and the only indoor ski slopes in the country.
