Why Live in Totowa Section
About a mile west of downtown Paterson, Totowa Section’s homes are close together, but the neighborhood is where the city’s more urban, multistory buildings truly give way to single-family houses in a friendly community. “It’s very neighborly because they all know each other — it’s that type of community,” says Francis Sullivan III, a top-selling Realtor in Paterson with Howard Hanna Rand Realty, who has sold in the area for over five years. “It’s almost like suburbia in an inner city. You’re still part of Paterson, but you can drive, you have land, you have grass, you have neighbors, and the people are wonderful.” Despite being more spread out than more urban parts of Paterson, the Totowa Section’s sidewalks make it easier for residents to walk their kids to school or places of worship like Masjid Al-Firdous. Totowa Section’s Victorian-inspired and narrow colonials often have front stoops that open out onto the sidewalk instead of front yards. Many homes have small backyards, though, setting them apart from much of Paterson. Single-family houses can cost between $320,000 to $570,000. There are a number of multifamily houses in Totowa Section, too, though they tend to be smaller
