What it’s like to live in Elmora
Commuter convenience defines Elmora, where renters enjoy surprisingly suburban atmosphere with easy access to both Newark and Manhattan via multiple transit options. Pre-war apartment buildings feature larger floor plans than typically available in newer construction, often including dining rooms and entrance foyers uncommon in contemporary designs. Though street parking requires strategy during snow emergencies, many buildings include dedicated spaces eliminating daily parking searches. The neighborhood's Jewish heritage creates excellent kosher dining options, while the diverse population generates authentic global experiences from Portuguese bakeries to Colombian cafes.
