Quick access to highways, trains, buses and the airport
Downtown Newark is about a mile away, and New York City is about 14 miles away. Commuters can make the 30-minute trip to New York by taking Interstate 78 to Highway 9 or by taking the train at Newark-Penn Station, 2 miles away. New Jersey Transit’s bus has routes throughout the city, and sidewalks make the area pedestrian friendly. “I would suggest having a car — I think that’s part of Jersey living,” Titus says, “but because of South Broad Valley’s proximity to both the train station and the airport, it allows you to not have one and still have easy access to transportation, which isn’t always something you can say in Jersey.” Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and University Hospital are about 2 miles away, and Newark Liberty International Airport is also a 2-mile trip.
Noise from the interstate and the train
With freeways, the airport and the train so close, noise can be an issue for some residents. “For some reason, you don’t hear the airplanes, but you tend to hear the trains from time to time,” Titus says. Residents closer to McCarter Highway and I-78 are likely to experience the most noise.
