Brookdale pairs a park-forward lifestyle with tree-lined blocks, well-kept homes, and everyday convenience. As the northern side of Bloomfield, it puts the 121-acre Brookdale Park at the center of daily life—a place for morning runs, youth sports, tennis, a dog park, and a celebrated rose garden. Summer concerts and community festivals fill the calendar, giving residents plenty of reasons to stay local on weekends.
Families appreciate strong school options through Bloomfield Public Schools, including neighborhood-favorite Brookdale School, while the Bloomfield Public Library hosts story times, lectures, tech help, and quiet study corners. Just up the road, Montclair State University expands horizons with lectures, performances, and continuing education, and the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center offers hands-on exhibits and programs that celebrate sportsmanship and history.
Commuters benefit from multiple NJ TRANSIT options, including the Montclair-Boonton Line and nearby bus routes, plus quick access to the Garden State Parkway. Brookdale’s dining scene leans casual and welcoming—think coffee on Broad Street, pizza nights after soccer practice, and weekend brunch before a park stroll—while municipal programming through the Township of Bloomfield keeps rec leagues, camps, and neighborhood events humming.
