About
Allwood
Allwood, located between Route 3 and the Garden State Parkway, is a residential and commuter-friendly Clifton neighborhood with mid-century split-levels and a wooded, creekside edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Allwood Road and Clifton Avenue corridor, where small delis, pizzerias, and service storefronts keep the sidewalks active. The Barrow House anchors local dining in a restored farmhouse setting, while Clifton Commons provides a modern retail-and-cinema hub nearby. Streets of tidy capes and ranches sit close to the Passaic River’s flat greenbanks and pocket parks. A mix of local eateries and everyday errands shapes a practical, lived-in rhythm.
