Waterfront community with Colonial roots
Elizabethport is a historic waterfront neighborhood named for its notable location: the Elizabeth River flows into Newark Bay, and eventually the ocean. Yet despite being one of the oldest former Colonial settlements in New Jersey, this is a modern suburb. Today, residents live close to the New Jersey Turnpike, Newark Liberty International Airport and Port Elizabeth, which gives an active quality to the area. Plus, it’s only 15 miles to New York City by car, bus or train – making this port town an increasingly attractive spot for commuters. Pedro Oliveira, a local Realtor at RE/MAX, describes this bayside community as “an area where the home inventory is currently low, but it’s definitely up and coming.”
19th-century homes from $475,000
The streets of Elizabethport are anchored by colonial-style houses and multi-family dwellings built in the 2000s. "Costs can rise to $800,000 for multifamily homes, which are the most popular on the market right now in Elizabethport, as buyers usually occupy one unit and rent out the other," says Oliveira. Many of the colonial homes were built during the turn of the 19th century and are priced in the $475,000 to $585,000 range. It’s common for these properties to feature five bedrooms. Most homes are built close to one another, giving a slight urban edge to the neighborhood. Instead of lawns, there are sidewalks fronted by stoops and porches, although some ornamental plantings exist here and there. The community scores a 6 out of 10 on the CAP crime index, driven robbery and vehicle theft. The national average is 4.

A seafood-loving dining scene
One benefit of the food scene in Elizabethport is that restaurants and markets are evenly spread across the neighborhood, making for several walkable destinations. There are plenty of Latin American eateries, as well as bakeries and pizza places. Staying true to their ocean proximity, a variety of Elizabethport restaurants serve seafood. El Tiburon is a Peruvian restaurant surrounded by shark décor, but inside there’s a bar, music stage and extensive menu serving everything from shrimp to squid. Olga’s focuses on traditional Costa Rican cuisine served with calypso music. To the north of the neighborhood is The Mills at Jersey Gardens, also known as the Jersey Gardens Mall. There’s a food court, clothing stores and a movie theater, plus an Ikea conveniently located less than a mile away. Groceries are available in the neighborhood at Superfood Marketplace and Casablanca Supermarket.

Elizabeth High earns an A
The Elizabeth Public Schools district serves students living in the neighborhood. Children have access to a 14-to-1 student-teacher ratio at George Washington School No. 1. This Pre-K-8 institution receives a C rating from Niche. Older students can attend Elizabeth High School, a magnet school with an A rating. It’s known for having a campus of nine buildings that focus on various disciplines, like the Halsey Academy of Finance. The tiny Elizabethport branch of the Elizabeth Public Library system sits on Third Street, in the shadow of Saint Aldabert’s Roman Catholic Church. The library’s façade is so small, that it’s easy to miss, but inside are computers, books and craft classes.

Jackson Park is made for walking
Elizabethport has diverse park spaces. Waterfront parks, for example, are popular here. Where the Elizabeth River pours into the bay, residents can cruise the boardwalk at Veterans Memorial Park and see bicyclists ride the throughway, while fishing boats and cargo ships dock at the marina. Jackson Park, on the other hand, is an inland experience located next to the elementary school. There’s a playground, but the main attraction is a network of walking paths that look onto the Immaculate Heart of Mary & Saint Patrick Roman Catholic Church – an impressive Gothic structure with twin turrets.

Pedestrian-friendly community
“Living in Elizabethport puts you only 20 minutes from the heart of New York City, so it can be seen as a commuter haven,” says Rosmena Desa, an Elizabeth native and Realtor at RE/MAX. “You’re also close to Newark Airport, the train station, several bus stops and Interstate 95 that runs north and south." She also points out that this port neighborhood has plans for a ferry out of the marina to the New York City pier of lower Manhattan, which will help Elizabethport continue to develop into a more populated residential suburb with commuting advantages. Walkability is also an appeal to Elizabethport, with most homes fronted by sidewalks that lead to parks and eateries. Buses run along First Street, an east-west corridor that spans the length of the neighborhood.
