Zip 07018 centers on East Orange’s Elmwood area, a historic, tree-lined pocket with prewar brick walkups and classic single-family homes. Residents enjoy a four-season climate, leafy blocks, and an easy NYC commute via Brick Church and East Orange NJ Transit stations, plus quick Garden State Parkway and I-280 access. Daily conveniences include ShopRite at Brick Church Plaza, corner bodegas, and coffee stops like Dunkin and local cafés along Central and South Orange avenues; the dining scene leans Caribbean, West African, and soul food, with bakeries and takeout spots sprinkled throughout. Weekend routines orbit Elmwood Park’s fields, playgrounds, and walking loops, with fitness options like Planet Fitness nearby and community events around City Hall Plaza. Nights are low-key, with lounges and late-night eats more common than clubs. The vibe is friendly and down-to-earth, and the area is both family- and pet-friendly with ample green space. Per Zillow Rental Manager market trends over the past few months, the median asking rent is about $2,000, with most listings ranging roughly $1,500–$2,600.

Convenient access to buses, trains, and public transit for easy commuting.
