What brings buyers to Newark's North Broadway neighborhood

North Broadway is a neighborhood in Newark's North Ward that blends residential streets, commercial corridors and industrial areas along the Passaic River. It offers a mix of multifamily and single-family homes that bring renters and owners to the area. Broadway anchors the community with NJ Transit buses that connect to Newark Broad Street station for commutes into New York, and the walkable corridor is also lined with shops and restaurants. Branch Brook Park and its cherry blossoms are a few blocks west, so you're never far from green space either.

Homes for sale in North Broadway’s renter-friendly market

Apartments and multifamily properties are the most common housing options here, and more than 80% of residents rent. On the for-sale market, two- and three-family homes lead the way, often bought as owner-occupied rentals. Single-family houses are less common, including fully detached Colonial Revivals, while newer multifamily buildings and condos continue to pop up across the neighborhood. “If there's land to build on, they will use it,” says Jessica Davidson, a local Realtor with The Agency Rutherford. Prices generally run from the mid-$200,000s to the lower $900,000s, depending on property type and condition, with the median sale price landing in the upper $300,000s.

Getting around Newark and commuting to Manhattan

North Broadway is a walkable neighborhood where NJ Transit buses run along Broadway to the nearby Newark Broad Street station. From there, the Montclair-Boonton and Morris & Essex lines offer direct service to Hoboken and New York Penn Station in Manhattan, while the Newark Light Rail connects to Newark Penn Station in Downtown Newark for access to PATH and Amtrak trains. Drivers have less than a 20-mile trip into the city via the Holland or Lincoln tunnels. “When my husband drives into the city for work, he tries to get onto the tunnel early to get that lower off-peak rate,” Davidson says. Newark Liberty International Airport is less than 10 miles south.

School choice and magnet options through Newark Enrolls

Newark Public Schools runs a citywide choice program called Newark Enrolls, which lets families apply to district schools across the city rather than being assigned one based on their address. Right in the neighborhood, Elliott Street Elementary School and Luis Muñoz Marín Elementary School both serve prekindergarten through eighth grade. Technology High School, one of the district's competitive magnet high schools, earns an A-rating from Niche and is just south in Mount Pleasant-Lower Broadway. North Broadway is also home to Maria L. Varisco-Rogers Charter School.

Green space near North Broadway includes Branch Brook Park

Branch Brook Park is less than 2 miles west. The 360-acre park is famous for its cherry blossom trees and hosts the annual Essex County Cherry Blossom Festival each April. It also has walking paths, tennis courts, ball fields, a playground and an off-leash dog park. For more recreation, North Broadway is close to:

  • Phillips Park, a quiet green space with a playground and picnic benches
  • Common Thread Park, a small pocket park with room to relax
  • The Waterfront, a recreation center with sports, arts and entertainment
  • Hendricks Field Golf Course, a public 18-hole course in nearby Belleville
A new green space is also on the way. Broadway Park is turning a long-vacant North Ward lot into a two-acre park with a playground, splash pad, community garden and open lawn for gatherings. It is expected to open in spring 2027.

Hendricks Field Golf Course is a public course just a few miles from North Broadway.
