Listed by DOREEN CLARIZIO• BHHS VAN DER WENDE PROPERTIES
Richfield, located between Route 3 and the Passaic River, is a residential and commuter-friendly Clifton neighborhood with mid-century garden apartments and a steady hum of local traffic. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Broad Street and Van Houten Avenue corridor, where corner delis, bakeries, and long-running service shops set a practical, lived-in tone. Streets mix brick multifamily buildings with tidy capes and colonials, giving blocks a consistent, workmanlike look. River-adjacent paths and small green pockets shape daily routines more than nightlife. Nearby anchors like Rutt’s Hut, the Clifton Commons shopping area, and the Clifton Arts Center & Sculpture Park help define local habits and weekend plans.
