Midtown & Downtown
Elizabeth's urban core along Broad Street — City Hall, the Art Deco Ritz Theatre, a vibrant Latino business district, and the train to New York. The city's densest, most walkable rentals.
Living in Midtown & Downtown
Midtown is the civic and commercial heart of Elizabeth, built around Broad Street and the Elizabeth train station. It's where you'll find City Hall, the county courthouse, the restored 1926 Art Deco Ritz Theatre, and a lively Latino business district of Colombian-owned shops, bakeries, and cafés.
Housing here is the densest in the city — apartments and multifamily buildings above and around the storefronts — which makes it the classic 'first apartment, walk-to-everything, ride-the-train' neighborhood. For renters who want energy and the shortest possible commute, nothing beats it.
