Transportation amenities draw people to Roselle Park
Roselle Park is a suburb of the New Jersey city of Elizabeth, and just 20 miles west of Manhattan, so it’s always had an identity as a commuter suburb. But it has evolved through the years, gathering a lot of history to its name – such as being home to the first poured concrete building in the world, as well as the first radio station in the state’s history. The neighborhood started as a railroad hub in the late 19th century and then became a classic car-centric boomtown as the 20th century progressed, showing how transportation amenities have always been crucial to its character. Today, the pleasant look of the neighborhood describes this arc from humble beginnings to midcentury prosperity. “Roselle Park has beautiful, tree-lined streets with a mixture of pre-war 1930s and 1940s homes and some that are more 1950s and 1960s,” says Realtor Corey Jones of Prestige Properties. “There are also a lot of Cape Cods built from the 1940s to 1960s.” With a 3 out of 10 crime score on the CAP Index, the neighborhood lives up to its name as a quiet suburb.

Postwar housing styles starting at $400,000
Houses in Roselle Park tend to sell for between $400,000 and $600,000, which is a competitive range for a place so close to Manhattan. “Roselle Park is in high demand, but price points are a lot more friendly here than in other New York suburbs,” says Jones. Other local sources report that homebuyers are drawn to this market because they get more bang for their buck, even within the context of Union County itself. “Roselle Park is cheaper compared to surrounding neighborhoods, and you can still get an average school system,” says Realtor Michael Martinetti with Keller Williams. “Plus, there can be a historic look to the area, with a lot of homes dating to the 1920s and 1930s. People who like Victorians will search here.” Streetscapes are simple, with smooth front yards leading to small shrubs hugging the home, framed by mature oaks and ornamental plantings like plum trees.

Lincoln Park offers all-ages entertainment
Little pocket parks and dog parks dot the landscape, but when it comes to an outdoor experience, many will head to Lincoln Park: shaded paths, basketball courts and playground equipment make it an all-ages destination. Galloping Hill Golf Course is just north of the neighborhood, offering an 18-hole circuit known for its rolling hills that spread across nearly 300 acres.

Pizza at The Sun Tavern and empanadas at The Chilean Bakery
Within this small neighborhood lies a diverse culinary scene, with several restaurants along Westfield Avenue, a major commercial corridor that forms the southern edge. Pubs, diners and taquerias are featured. Pizza is a popular food here, and one place to grab a slice is at The Sun Tavern, which welcomes visitors into a traditional bar with exposed brick walls and sports decor. The Chilean Bakery feels like a cozy neighborhood institution, situated on a corner near homes. It offers empanadas and a Chilean take on steak and eggs. For the classic fine dining experience, House 157 Restaurant & Bar invites gourmands to enjoy neatly plated entrees with a cocktail or glass of wine, surrounded by a sophisticated white tablecloth setting. Supermarket options sit on the east end, outside downtown Elizabeth: Shop Rite, Food Bazaar and Elmora Farmers Market.
A namesake train station for reaching Manhattan
True to its railroad roots, Roselle Park has a station that carries commuters into the heart of New York City via Newark Penn Station. The Garden State Parkway on the west end is also a highly desirable amenity. “People really move here for convenience,” Martinetti says. “You can get to the beach, the mountains or the city in about 45 minutes.” The small, residential grid that makes up most of Roselle Park is also friendly to pedestrians. Sidewalks are abundant.
