Neighborhood
A serious neighborhood, with a serious sense of place.
Clifton's 07013 zip code offers the rare combination: a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac with a ravine backdrop - and an easy commute to New York City.
Clifton is one of northern New Jersey's most established suburban cities, straddling Passaic and Bergen Counties with a population of roughly 90,000. The 07013 zip code covers the eastern half of the city - a mix of mid-century split-levels, colonials, and Cape Cods on tree-lined streets, all within minutes of Montclair's restaurants, Montclair State University, and NJ Transit bus routes to Manhattan. It's the kind of place where families put down roots, the parks are genuinely used, and the commute to NYC is real without being punishing.
What makes this area distinct
Three things to know.
Cul-de-sac calm with ravine access
This home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, and the backyard opens onto a wooded ravine with a walking trail. It feels removed from the world, yet the city is right there.
Montclair dining and shopping
Minutes from Montclair's vibrant restaurant row on Bloomfield Avenue and Watchung Avenue - from Java Love Coffee Bar to Trend Coffee & Tea House, plus farm-to-table dining at The Barrow House on Van Houten Ave.
Strong schools and university access
Clifton Public Schools serves 19 schools in the district, and Montclair State University is just minutes away. Bergen and Passaic Counties offer additional public and private school options.
