Affordable properties, employment opportunities highlight this downtown neighborhood
The central commercial district of the Paterson area, Downtown Paterson, is not only the oldest part of the city but is the home of two architectural landmarks: City Hall and the Passaic County Courthouse. The city of Paterson is America's first planned industrial city and was founded in part by Alexander Hamilton, who saw the area as the foundation for America's Industrial Revolution. Paterson's name comes from William Paterson, who served as governor of New Jersey and signed the Constitution. Today, Downtown Paterson provides its residents with affordable multi-family dwellings, an array of Latin American food options, and proximity to various parks, including Great Falls National Historical Park. “People come to Paterson for the proximity to the highways as well,” John Susani, a broker/owner with Coldwell Banker Susani Realty, says. “There are also several employment options, including at St. Joseph’s University Medical Center.”
Downtown Paterson is the primary commercial district of Paterson, NJ, in Passaic County.
Downtown Paterson is home to the Passaic County Court House.
