Peterstown pairs old-world tradition with everyday convenience in the heart of Elizabeth. Family-run bakeries and butcher shops along Elizabeth Avenue set an unmistakable tone, while block parties and the beloved St. Anthony’s Italian festival keep neighbors connected year after year. Residents tap into helpful services and recreation programs through the City of Elizabeth, and they’re minutes from green getaways like Warinanco Park for lakeside paths, gardens, and seasonal ice skating, or Mattano Park for ballfields, a skatepark, and playgrounds.
Families appreciate the strong local school network via Elizabeth Public Schools, with magnet and academy options nearby, plus after-school enrichment and story times at the Elizabeth Public Library. Daily errands are effortless, and weekend plans range from farmers markets to casual trattorias, with quick detours to the shops and eateries of Elmora.
Commuters value straightforward connections: NJ TRANSIT’s Elizabeth Station offers direct service to Newark and beyond, and county amenities are close at hand across Union County. With its welcoming streets, celebrated food culture, and easy access to parks, schools, and transit, Peterstown suits first-time buyers, growing households, and longtime locals alike.
