Neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey

Multi-family and single-family homes can be owned or rented
Most of the housing here is multi-family homes with two to four units built between the 1900s and 2000s, and a few single-family homes are also available. The houses here can be detached or rowhouses, and they typically have vinyl or brick exteriors and Italianate or colonial details. Many sit above one or two-car garages, and street parking is also available. The homes sit close to the side-walk-lined streets, and while they usually don’t have yards, small trees and pocket parks add touches of greenery throughout. Prices for a multi-family home can range from around $450,000 to $800,000, while single-family houses range from around $300,000 to $420,000. Mid-rise 21st-century condos cost between $325,000 and $365,000. Several rental options are also available in the neighborhood, from units in apartment complexes to entire single-family houses.

Sports fields, natural areas and a public golf course for recreation
Pocket parks are spread throughout the neighborhood, providing shade and green space. Jesse Allen Park includes a playground, a football field and pickleball courts. The over 300-acre Weequahic Park nearby offers forested walking paths around a large lake that’s popular for fishing. The park is also home to the public Weequahic Golf Course and a variety of sports fields that host kids’ leagues.
/
A school choice district with C-rated schools
Kids can attend schools in the Newark Public School District, which earns an overall C-plus from Niche and is a school choice district. The C-minus-rated Louise A. Spencer School, a performing arts school that serves pre-kindergarten through Grade 8, is nearby. The C-rated Malcolm X Shabazz High is also close. Students here can take career and technical education courses in subjects like aviation maintenance and engineering.
/
Professional sports and concerts are in nearby downtown Newark
With downtown Newark within walking distance, residents can take advantage of some of the city’s biggest event venues. The Prudential Center attracts sports fans to cheer on the National Hockey League’s New Jersey Devils. The center also hosts concerts by world-renowned musicians like Katy Perry and Tyler, the Creator. The Newark Symphony Hall has regular concerts, open mics and educational programs.
/
Quick access to highways, trains, buses and the airport
Downtown Newark is about a mile away, and New York City is about 14 miles away. Commuters can make the 30-minute trip to New York by taking Interstate 78 to Highway 9 or by taking the train at Newark-Penn Station, 2 miles away. New Jersey Transit’s bus has routes throughout the city, and sidewalks make the area pedestrian friendly. “I would suggest having a car — I think that’s part of Jersey living,” Titus says, “but because of South Broad Valley’s proximity to both the train station and the airport, it allows you to not have one and still have easy access to transportation, which isn’t always something you can say in Jersey.” Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and University Hospital are about 2 miles away, and Newark Liberty International Airport is also a 2-mile trip.Locally owned restaurants and stores nearby, more options downtown
South Broad Valley is dotted with local restaurants, auto shops and convenience stores. Manny’s BBQ & Restaurant serves a variety of grilled meat, and Heaven’s Delite, which is takeout-only, offers a rotating selection of freshly made soup. Downtown Newark is about a mile away, offering more dining options like longtime favorite Hobby’s Deli, chosen by Food & Wine Magazine as one of the top Jewish delis in the country. Downtown also has national retailers like Foot Locker and Gap Factory. Nearby grocery stores include SuperFresh Supermarket and Family Dollar.

Noise from the interstate and the train
With freeways, the airport and the train so close, noise can be an issue for some residents. “For some reason, you don’t hear the airplanes, but you tend to hear the trains from time to time,” Titus says. Residents closer to McCarter Highway and I-78 are likely to experience the most noise.
