Historic charm and city convenience in Springfield-Belmont
Springfield-Belmont is a small residential neighborhood in Newark's Central Ward. It's known for its historic architecture along Martin Luther King Boulevard, home to landmarks like the Krueger-Scott Mansion and the Art Deco-style Arts High School. Buyers are drawn to the central location next to University Heights' academic and medical hubs and Downtown Newark's shops, restaurants and New York transit connections at Newark Penn Station. Add in walkable streets, pocket parks and access to shopping and dining, and it's an appealing spot for commuters, healthcare workers and anyone who wants city convenience without the downtown bustle.
Why buyers choose Springfield-Belmont for its home prices
This is a renter-heavy neighborhood, but it does have a few options for buyers. Single-family townhouses are common, with early 20th-century rowhomes and multifamily properties mixed in along the tree-lined streets. Prices typically range from the upper $200,000s to the lower $600,000s. Larger multifamily properties tend to be on the higher end and are often owner-occupied rentals. Springfield-Belmont's median sale price is in the mid-$300,000s, lower than Newark's citywide median and that of nearby Clinton Hill.
That price point is a major draw for anyone looking to live near hubs like Rutgers University–Newark, the New Jersey Institute of Technology and University Hospital. “Springfield-Belmont is one of the last affordable spots in Newark, which is a reason why people move here,” says Brendan Da Silva, a local Realtor and leader of The Da Silva Team with Keller Williams NJ Metro Group. “Doctors and nurses who work at University Hospital will always buy in Springfield-Belmont.”
Springfield-Belmont is a compact neighborhood with residential streets.
