Why Live in Forest Hill

Forest Hill in Newark, New Jersey's, North Ward is a leafy neighborhood known for its historic homes and quiet, almost suburban feel. The Forest Hill Historic District features late-19th- and early 20th-century houses along tree-shaded streets, with architecture ranging from Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival to Georgian Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Victorian. Many homes retain original woodwork and fireplaces, and most remain single-family rather than being converted to multifamily rentals. Homeowners must submit plans to the Newark Landmarks & Historic Preservation Commission before changing anything visible from the street, which helps maintain the area’s historic look. Branch Brook Park lines the neighborhood’s western edge, providing 360 acres of paths, lakes, historic bridges, athletic fields, tennis courts, a playground and a fenced dog park, plus the well-known cherry blossom festival each April. Smaller parks like Common Thread Park and Phillips Park add more outdoor options. Residents can walk to Newark Light Rail stops and NJ Transit bus routes, with connections through Newark Penn Station to Manhattan. Drivers are close to McCarter Highway for trips toward New York, less than 15 miles away. Forest Hill is served by Newark’s school-choice system, and nearby Technology High School is a highly rated magnet option. Mount Prospect and Bloomfield avenues bring local restaurants, food trucks and neighborhood markets, while the Forest Hill Community Association organizes events like Newark PorchFest and the Forest Hill House and Garden Tour, giving residents things to do throughout the year.
