Characteristics

Transportation

House buyers who want to live in a compact community will be pleased with the very pedestrian-friendly nature of this part of Passaic; most daily needs are very easy to carry out without needing to resort to a car, and plenty of businesses are close at hand. However, Broadway is not especially appropriate for biking as the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and the terrain is not very flat. Driving is a fairly good transportation option in this area. Many houses for sale are a rather short drive from the closest highway. However, Broadway is not especially transit friendly. Thankfully, train stations, such as the Passaic with access to the Main/Bergen County Line and Port Jervis Line, are not very far-removed from the majority of residences in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is linked by approximately 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most residences.

Services

Both primary and secondary schools are especially convenient to access as a pedestrian from most homes for sale in Broadway. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools. Regarding eating, it is very convenient to access both a general and a specialty grocery store as a pedestrian from most homes for sale in this neighborhood. Passaic County 622 is among the best streets for groceries. In addition, thanks to 100-odd restaurants and cafes in Broadway, there is usually a spot to get some food or drink just around the corner. It is also a short trip to a very good selection of clothing stores.
