685 Van Houten Ave

Just steps away from the Garden State Parkway, the Athenia neighborhood of Clifton, New Jersey offers commuters the best of both worlds. The sidewalk-lined streets and residential housing give this neighborhood a small-town feel, while the Clifton Station offers train service to upstate New York and other lines that transfer to New York City. Athenia is the ideal location for your apartment if you want a suburban setting and an easy commute to the city.

On the weekends, locals visit the Getty Avenue Park for a game of tennis on one of the four outdoor courts, while children enjoy playing on the playground equipment. At Richardson Oval, residents watch a game of baseball or grab a glove and play shortstop. If you have a secret or not-so-secret sweet tooth, stop by Gourmet Desserts for an individual dulce de leche cheesecake or an old-fashioned chocolate chip cookie.
