This is the most desirable residential section in all of Hudson County
and one Which is conveniently located •. Here, on ridge land sloping geatly to the
south and steeply to the west, are found newer ho~es of an attractive design.
They have been erected on plots of fair size which are nicely landscaped. There
is a definitely suburban air to the neighborhood despite a lack of trees. Pride
of ownership is quite pronounced. Belleville Turnpike, tbs northern boundary,
is a business street and separates this from the less desirable section beyond.
In addition to the type homes listed above, . there is an occaeional 3 and 4 family
dwelling with a top nominal vfl.lue of $10 1 000 renting about the some as doubles,
and a few better class apartments. In all, this group accounts for 5% of the
housing structures and conteir,s 20% of !'.Ill dwelling uni ts. Apartments rent for
$18-22 per room but do not offer much competition •. Tho northwestern: corner of
the area contnina only singles end might rote even higher if locnted outside the
county with a iasser sales resistance,

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA,
Despite fair age, this area, which is situated on ridge land that is
high in the north, remains a desirable place in v hich to live. North of Stuyvesant Avenue it becomeo .even a shade better. The neighbo~hood is both well
and conveniontlf located. Belleville Turnpike acts as a dividing line between
this and the less desirable area to the north. The homes are not unattractive
in design and are built slightly back from shaded streets. Although placed
f~irly close together there is still a semi-s~burban atmosphere. About 10% of
the housing structures are apartments plus a few 3 and 4 family and these conte.in 30% of the all dwelling units. The apartments rent for $18 - 22 per room
F.-.nd offer minor competition to all save singles. Top value of the 3 & 4 family
is $10,000 and this is purely nominal. Rents compare with those in doubles.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:

This section, which is located on higll and flat ground, is gradually
losing its desirability from a residential , ~e'ftPoint.. The indicated trend
is to -apartments of which there are already quite a few. the better grade being
along Hudson Boulevard east overlooking the river below. There is substantial
variety in size of dwelling. They are all of fair age and of a not too attractive design although some are above the average in this respect. Many are detached and a number set back slightly from streets most of which are shaded.
There is no air of congestion, About 15% of the structures are apartment houses
including a handful of three and four-family. In all they contain 45% of the
dwelling units. Rooms rent at $12 - 18, thus offering some competiti-on to units
tn two family dwellingst The three and four family have purely nominal top
values of $11,000, while rents differ little from those in doubles. The city
has acquired title to about 5 residences but 4as yet to sell anr.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA,

A relatively small orea located .on high flat ground , Despite age., it remains
a fairly desirable Place in which to liVe due to its convenience _of location,
shaded streets and more recerit trend to apartmentaof the better .Class. Some
50% of ail dwellings are today epartmari.ts wl).ich contain 80% of ali the dwelling
units. Rooms in these may be had for tr.om $8 - $15, This co.mpetitibn explains
the relatively high vacancy in both one and two family stTuctures. Future
indicated trend in this neighborhood is towara the gradual replacement of smaller
dwellings by larger multi-familY•

8. DESCRIITION AND CHARACTER!STICS OF AREN

Onco the c1ty1 s beat residential section and still a fairly desirable
place in which to reside. The neighborhood is well and conveniently located on
high ground sloping to the west. A bisecting traffic artery, Hudson Boulevard,
and a gradual trend to apartments of the better class are its main drawbacks~
Both the singles and doubles are of mixed design and vory materially in size,
some being quite large. They are set back from shaded streets but lots are too
narrow. About 25% of the housing structures are apartments which contain 65%
of all dwelling units. Room rent in these run from $15 to $25 and competition
results particularly for units in doubles .•

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTlCS OF AREA,

This area is situated on fairly high ground which slopes to the south. Its
location makes it convenient to places vf employment and to outside points but
it suffers from odors from adjacent linoleum plant. It is too congested and
not sufficiently new to be a r eally desirable place in which to live but should
not decline much further. In this neighborhood is an intermingling of singles,
doubl es ond an occasional 3 and 4 family all of which vary somewhat in size. ·
Thore is also a scattering of apartments in which rents run around $15 -17 per
room and these offe r competition. In all 25% of the housing structures containing 50% of the dwelling units exceed 2 family in size. Three and four family
have a nominal top mai-ket. value of $9,000 and in rents compare with doubles.
The few n0groes are confined to the sm.a~l red area and there seems little danger
of their spreading.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA,
This section should not decline much further primarily because of its convenience of location to both local end outside points. It is situated on ridge
land which slopes gently to the south and steeply to the meadows in the east,
Houses, of which 20% are heated only by stoves, vary subst-nntially in size, are
of fair age and built too closely togather. A number a~e set back slightly from
the streets many of .,.1hich are shaded. In addition to those listed above 5%,'·are
in the form of apartmonts toeether with a few 3 and 4 family in all containing
25% of the entire dwelling units. Apartments rent for $15-17 per room and thus,
offer somo competition, Top nominal market for 3 and 4 family is $9,000 and rents
are similar to tlDse in doubles. The neighborhood also hae<some scattered industrial plants. The e.nall red area to the east and on the meadows ia far less
desirable in every respect and inhabited entirely by Poles •

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:

This small and somewhat sparsely settled section, located on high flat ground
has definitely seen its best days. Dwellings are of modest size and quite closely
built. They are far from modern and of anything but a pleasing design.. About 10%
of the housing structures are multi-family and contain 25% ot a11 dwelling uni tsp
Rents are $10-15 per room and furnish quite some competition for units in two
family houses. There are indications of a slow and general trend to apartments,

This small and hoffiogeneous comm:uil.ity is located on c high plateau. It is old,
congested and unattractive and from a residentiel standpoint, dontinues to decline. The afea, howev8r 1 still has on appeal to those 0mployed in the many small
plants.scattered through.out. D?iellings vary from small singles to ttats mtd apartments- The best of th~ last mentioned are found along Hudson Boulevard east
which is slightly mo re desire.ble. Houses along the principal north and south
arteries contain st~)res on the ground floor. In addition to the types listed
above there are a very few 3 ~.nd 4 frunily with a nominal top of ~7 1 000 units
in vihich rents arc slightly under those in the 2 family. In the multi-family
r ooms rent at $4 - 13 thereby cree,ting competition for the doubles. Stoves are
the only means of heat in 50% of the dwelling units whereas 25% lack hot water
and 20% hnve neither tubs or showers. The neighborhood suffers from expensive
and poor transportntion to outside points.

A fairly old and somewhat congested neighborhood which is conveniently
located and has good transportation facilities. Terrain is a high plateau.. It
has ceased to be a desir~ble place tn which to live but should not decline much
farther. The neighborhood contains a few scattered industrial plants. Single
family dwellings are generally small two story and baaemont type. Doubles ore
slightly larger. There are a very fow four family with nominal top of $6,000
in which units rent for about the same·as two family •. All are unattractive in
design and built quite closely together •. Some 25% of the residontiaJ. structures
are apartments and flats which contain bo% of ul.l dwelling units. Roome in
t .hese rent from $8·· to $10, Thoy offer only a moderate degree of competition.
to singles ond doubles. Eventually thts should become al}. area of apartment
houses ..

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISfiCS OF AREA,

On ground which is high and slopes to the wost is located this old neighborhood. Its declining trend has been halted by more recent erection of apartment
houses. · Futw:e trend should be to business end apartments because of co:aveb- -,
ience of location.

Architecture is of a · bygone vintage and although dwellings

are set back from the street they are built very close together.

Singles vary

from small to some of fair size. Quite a few of the larger have been converted
into small units or boarding houses. There are a f0w 3 1 s and 4 1 s withe. nominal

top value of $7,000 in which units rent for slightly less than those in the
doubles. Apartment houses account for 25% of all housing structures and in
those are -~5% of all dwelling uni ts. Rooms may be had at $10-12 and their
effect upon units in smaller structures is minor.

6. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA,
•
The land here is fairly high though it slopes off to the east and west. A
sh~rp decline on each side, bowever, . separates it from the railroad yards and
the industrial areas bolow. This neighborhood 1s of fair age, congested and
has been on the decline for 'a number of years. Recent infiltration of negroes
is helping it further on i~s downward path olthough a few streets remain above
the ayerage, which is pa..r ticularly notie0able in "the western portion where there
is an excell8nt sChool. Homes are built on narrow lots and in addition to tb,ose
listed there are a few 1 s and 41 s with a nominal top value of $8,000 in which
units rent tor slightly less than thes0 in the doubles. Along the principal
north and south arterieS are a number of apartments, the better type being 6n
Hudson Blulevard. All to.ld they account for 20% of t~ housing structures and
contai~ 45% of the dwelling units. Rooms in them can be had for $10-15 and thus
they afford comp&tition. Stoves are the only fo:rni of heat in 25% of the dwelling units.

8. · DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA,
This is a fairly old neighborhood which probably has ceased to decline.
It has good transportation and system of parks but suffers from hee:vy traffic on
principal. north and south avenues plus distance to places of employment-. The land
on which it is located is in the form of a central ridge which, slo_p es to the east,
south and west. A particularly sharp decline separates it from the railroad yards
to the east, Hudson Boulevard is its most desirable street. Both the singles and
doubles vary in size and architecture but none is uverly attractive. There are also
a few 31 s and 4•s whos.e nominal values and rents are similar t0 doubles... More
recent trend has been to a:partmorit s which make up 25% of ell dwellings H.nd include
40% of the dwelling unit.a. In these.rooms ront for $10-15 but they do not afford
much competition. Some 30% of all dwelling units are ·heated only by stoves.

An area wLich has been on the decline for some yea~s but whic~ should .~ot go
much further because of its attraction to the better class of worker. The ·

neighborhood, though fairly.,old, is not too_ congosted Bl)d main avenues are quite
wide. Negroes are concentrated 1n the small section .shown in red on the map "and
there seems li"ttle danger of th,eir spreading. Along the .Tersey City line it is
also less desirable.
Dwellings are set back Slightly from. the street and display
some pride of· Ownership, theugh not of an overly pleasing architecture. In addition to the types listed 5% are 3's and 1 s having a nominEµ top of $9000 in which
units rent for a little less than: those in the doubles'.. A further 15~ are apartments. This group contains 45% of a_l l the dwelling ~itij 8.nd J;'Ooms in them rent
for $12 - $17.50, but they afford little competitio.n.

tirely le.eking and it has ceased to be a desirable placo in which to liveo The
lo.nd is low and flat. In addition to the types of hous·i ng structureslisted
above. 5% are 3's end 4's and 20% larger multi-family. In the first group there
is a top nominal value of $8,000 end their units rent f6r slightly leas than
corresponding quarters in the doubles, The second group contains 45%-of all
dwelling units and in theae,rooms rent.for from $6 ~o $14 depending upon whether
or not ·heat is included. They do not create competition, however, for units in
the 2•a, 3-ta and 4'e. Stoves are th0 Only forJll; of heat in 30% of All dwelling

The terrain is low and flat. The neighborhood is old and still on the down
grade. Its favorable features are: convenience to places of omployment 1 accessibility to the center of the city, a handsome schoml plus the fact that some
streets are shaded. Detrimental features are: age and obsolescence of structures
and encroachment of indu8try. A11~ady there are a few manufacturing plants
scattered throughout the area . Dwellings for the most part, are sl:lt back slightly
from the street anrt areofenunattractive design, Included ore 5% 3•s and 4•s with
a nominal top of $7,500 in which rents per unit are slif,htly below those in doubles.
Some 20% are le.rger multi-family in which rooms rent :tor $11-14. Although 35%
of all dwelling units are contained in this last mentioned group, they seem to
offer but little competition. About 20% of all residehtial structures employ
nothing but stoves for heat.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARAClliRISTICS OF AREA,

This is hillside lend which rises steeply to the east becoming high and
flat. The area is not overly congested being sparsely settled in spots. In all
about 80% is improved but the character of the improvement is such as would appeal
only to the poorest classes, For many of these, it is convenien t to places of
employme nt. Housing facilitie s vary from small, frame and l arger singles to multi1
family structure s. There are e handful of 31 s and 4 s with a nominal top market of
$8,000. Flats make up 10% of the habitatio ns and contain 25% of all dwelling units,
They rent for !)4..-13 per room thus creating minor competiti on for units in the twof'am.ily. Nearly one third of all dwelling units are heated by stoves and quite a few
lack tubs or showers. All are of fair age and in run down condition . There has
been some condemna tion and demolitio n to provide for an approach to the Midtown
Tunnel at tha point shown on the map. In addition the city owns about 25 one to
four family dwellings which can be bought for costs involved,

8. DESCRll'TION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA,
An old neighborhood situated on land which gradually rises to the west. !t
was once popul.£'..ted by Germans but Poles and Italians hc.ve driven them out. It
has bocome a slum area and c. fire hazard of the worst sort. Exclusive of some
small industrial plants about 75% of the structures are c~eap tenements. Th~se_
contain 90% of all dwelling units in which rooms may be had from $2.50 to $7.00.
Since there is little choice between th~se and other forms of habitati~n they do
not create much competition. There are also a few 4 family with a nominal top
of $4,500 in which rents perallel the doubles and triples.. Stoves aro the only
form of heat in 90% of all the dwelling units,. 80% have neither hot water nor tubs

structures are tenements and flats and these contain 90% of all dwelling units,
These rooms rent from $4 to $7 and they furnish a degree of competition to other
types of housing faailities though no more desirable. About 85% of all dwelling
uni ts are heated only by stoves, 45% have no hot water or tubs or Showers and 15%
lack private toilets.

8. Dl!SCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA,

A very old and congeeted but_ conveniently located neighborhood which has
det.e riorated into only a little better than a slum area. Land for the most part
is high and flat. Dwellings are of n wide variety ranging from quite small sin".'·
glee to "railroad flats" ond other forms of multi-f.a mily. ·There are e handf'Ul
of 31 s end 4 1 s ·with n nominal top value of $6,000 in which rents per unit are
slightly below those in the doubles. 25% of the houses are tenements etc. which
contain 50% of the dwelling units. In these rooms rent from $5 to $6 but since
they are low grade, offer relatively little competition. · About 40% of all
dwelling units have only stoves for heat whilo 10% have neither hot water nor
bething facilities.

above 15% ere two-frnnily; o very few are four-fru!lily and 45% are flnts and other
forms of multi-family. The last mentioned contain 70% of all dwelling units.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
The ground is low and flat. The neighborhood ls old and has deteriorated into
a slum area, Industry has crept in and today there are oome scattered manufacturing plants. Then, too, it suffers from odors emunating from the adjoining refin8ries. Its only redeeming features are convenience to places of employment and
a good low rent apartment which was erected during recent years by Rockefeller
interests. There has been sane institutional dElltlolition to reduce taxes and avoid
vandalism which is very prevalent.
DV1ellings include shacks and two story
singles as well as conventional doubles. About 5% are 3 and 4 family and 50~ nre
tenements. The 31 e and 4's have a nominal top value of $5,000 and their units
rent for a little less than the doubles. The larger multi-family contain 70% of
all dwelling units and their rooms rent for $2.50 - $6 but they do not afford
much competition. Stoves a1·e the only form of heat in 95% of the dwoJ.ling units,
b0% have neither hot water, tubs or showers and 10% have no private toilets.
