Bustling suburb with shops and restaurants

Riverside, located in the city of Paterson, has bustling sidewalks lined with shops and restaurants, offering residents the conveniences and walkability that define urban living. The east end holds most of the suburb’s homes and shops, while Bunker Hill Industrial Park is in the west end. Tucked along the banks of the Passaic River in northern New Jersey, living in Riverside gives residents proximity to New York City without the big city price tag. “A lot of buyers come from New York since it’s so expensive to live there,” says Linda Iriarte, a Broker with UNIcasa Union Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area for 27 years. “This is a great area for people looking for more comfort and space.”

Multi-family rowhouses from the $400,000s

Riverside mostly features 20th-century multi-family rowhouses with concrete steps leading to the front door. A few may have small driveways, but most residents rely on street parking in this part of the neighborhood. These multi-family homes with four to six bedrooms typically sell for $400,000 to $600,000. The eastern part of the neighborhood offers colonial-style single-family homes with moderately sized lots for $300,000 to $500,000. Homebuyers can also find condos at Montgomery Village Condos, an old silk mill that was renovated into one-bedroom units with historic charm for $150,000 to $200,000. “There’s a lot of older homes and a lot of renovated homes, it’s a good mix,” says Eve Caposela, a Realtor with Howard Hanna | Rand Realty, who’s been selling homes here since 2015. The CAP Index gives Riverside a crime score of 5. The national average is 4.
