Dayton Homes for Rent

Dayton, a neighborhood in Newark, features a mix of duplexes and single-family homes, primarily in simple colonial styles with open or enclosed front porches. Home prices range from $400,000 to $800,000 depending on the type. Weequahic Park is a significant local attraction, offering an 18-hole golf course, playground, athletic fields, and a large lake with a 2.5-mile walking trail. The park also hosts events like the annual Weequahic Park Music Festival and a Fourth of July fireworks show. Dining options include Manny’s Deli & Restaurant and Dayton Steakhouse Bar & Grill, with grocery stores like Twin City Supermarket and Stop & Shop nearby. While Dayton has convenient road access via U.S. Route 22, state Route 27, and Interstate 78, residents currently face challenges accessing the nearby light rail station due to fences and locked gates. However, a $12 million plan to open access by 2026 aims to improve connectivity and potentially attract new residents. Newark Liberty International Airport is less than a mile away, contributing to some airplane noise.
