Upper Roseville
Single and multifamily homes, with apartments for rent
Well over half of Upper Roseville residents are renters, and many rent units in multifamily homes or apartment complexes. Foursquare and Colonial Revival homes are common in the area and range from $240,000 to $550,000. Most homes have small front yards and detached garages. Condos can sell between $225,000 and $335,000. Multifamily homes range from $500,000 to $800,000. While Upper Roseville is only 12 miles from New York City, its price point is significantly lower than that of neighborhoods near the Hudson River, which can reach into the millions. The grid-patterned streets in Upper Roseville are sidewalk-free, making more space for street parking.

Commuters use public transportation to reach NYC and downtown Newark
Anyone commuting into downtown Newark has a 3-mile drive, which takes about 15 minutes. Some residents may catch an NJ Transit bus at stops like those along the Bloomfield or Roseville Avenues. Upper Roseville also has three stops for the Newark Light Rail at the Davenport Avenue, Bloomfield Avenue and Branch Brook stations, which all reach Newark’s Penn Station in approximately 20 minutes. From there, commuters may catch a train to New York City, arriving at Penn Station in under an hour. Driving east on Interstate 280 gets residents to NYC in about 45 minutes. The Newark International Airport is 12 miles south via the Garden State Parkway. The Clara Maass Medical Center is near the northern end of Upper Roseville, less than a mile away for most residents. The neighborhood has churches, like Bethlehem Baptist Church, but there are also masjids less than a mile away.Shopping and dining down Bloomfield Avenue
Locally owned restaurants line Bloomfield Avenue, including favorites like Bloomfield Avenue Barbeque. For dessert, Calandra’s Bakery serves baked goods and custom cakes and cookies. The nearby Franklin Square Plaza has a Stop & Shop grocery store and retail shops like Marshall’s. Some residents might prefer the SuperFresh Food World on Belmont Avenue for a wider grocery selection.

Walk, play and skate at Branch Brook Park
Established in 1895, Branch Brook Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the nation’s first county park. Visitors can walk the paved trail past several lakes, a playground, sports fields and hard-top athletic courts. There’s also a roller-skating rink and an off-leash dog park. When residents want an outdoor adventure, they might start at Branch Brook Park and walk part of the Lenape Trail, a 36-mile paved path that connects to 18 parks in Essex County.

Catching cherry blossom blooms every April
Every April, residents from across Newark visit Branch Brook Park for the Essex County Cherry Blossom Festival. The park features over 4,000 cherry blossom trees, the country's most extensive collection. The festival offers a bike race, a 10K and a fun run. Food and vendors are available throughout the event.Students attend public schools close to home
The Newark School District serves Upper Roseville and receives a C-plus from Niche. Kids often attend kindergarten through eighth grade at First Avenue School, which gets a C-plus, or Salomé Ureña Elementary School, which receives a C. Students continue to the C-rated Barringer High School, where they can apply to join the Dance Academy or a Law & Public Safety Academy.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
