Framed on the right by the Passaic River is the suburban neighborhood of Mount Pleasant-Lower Broadway. This community is ideal for commuters as it provides easy access to Interstate 280 and Highway 21, and it is situated just miles north of Downtown Newark. The suburb’s primarily residential streets are home to historic places of worship. Admire the impressive architecture of the community’s long-standing churches, including Saint Lucy's Church and the Archdiocese of Newark. Next, visit the city’s longest operating synagogue, the stunning Jewish Museum of New Jersey.
Moments away in Newark, renters in the Mount Pleasant-Lower Broadway area can enjoy exciting attractions including historic house museums, scenic parks, and a planetarium. To the west of the suburb is Branch Brook Park. Although good for recreation and fresh air year-round, this park really comes to life during the Cherry Blossom Festival.
