Elizabethport
'The Port' — Elizabeth's oldest neighborhood on Newark Bay, once home to the legendary Singer factory, now adding new townhomes and a waterfront park. A real renter-to-first-buyer story.
Living in Elizabethport
Elizabethport — 'the Port' — is the oldest neighborhood in Elizabeth, a historic maritime district on Newark Bay that was once home to the legendary Singer sewing-machine factory. It's a close, working community with a strong sense of place.
Traditionally dense and renter-heavy, the waterfront has seen new townhomes and two-family duplexes rise alongside the Veterans Memorial Waterfront Park. That mix of affordability, history, and new construction makes it one of the best 'rent here first, then buy here' stories in the city.
