About West

Montrose

West Montrose, located between Branch Brook Park and Bloomfield Avenue, is a residential and industrial Newark neighborhood with brick rowhouses and warehouse-lined side streets. Character concentrates around Bloomfield Avenue near Lake Street, where corner delis, auto-body bays, and small storefronts set a steady, workday rhythm. Branch Brook Park’s Belleville Avenue edge frames the area with broad lawns and cherry-tree allees. Blocks closer to the park read as early-20th-century brick and stone, while the western edge shifts to loading docks and light manufacturing. The Newark Light Rail’s Branch Brook Park Station adds a transit spine without changing the low-rise feel.
