Seventh Avenue blends deep-rooted heritage with everyday convenience. In Newark’s North Ward, its blocks sit within easy reach of the sweeping lawns and famed cherry trees of Branch Brook Park, a cornerstone of recreation in Essex County. The neighborhood’s history as Newark’s Little Italy still echoes at St. Lucy’s Church and during community festivals, while the nearby Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart offers breathtaking architecture and a robust calendar of concerts and services.
Families appreciate practical access to schools, including Abington Avenue School and the longtime neighborhood high school, Barringer. Parks, playgrounds, and local delis line the avenues, and the Newark Light Rail and major bus routes make downtown commutes straightforward, with quick connections to arts venues, universities, and regional transit. On weekends, residents stroll to the park’s lakes, soccer fields, and bike paths, or explore the adjacent neighborhoods of Forest Hill and Lower Broadway for more dining and cultural options.
Housing ranges from classic rowhouses to updated multi-families, giving first-time buyers and seasoned homeowners flexibility. The result is a neighborhood that feels close-knit yet plugged into the wider city, where daily routines run on local flavor and leafy green space.
