Why It Matters
If you only know one thing about the Nutley housing market, know this: your elementary attendance zone is the single largest predictor of value. Two houses, same square footage, same year built, four blocks apart can clear at $200,000 different prices because one sits in Yantacaw and the other in Lincoln. Middle and high school are town-wide; elementary is where the price split lives.
Below: the price map, a card per zone with its 2026 median, and a sortable table for the side-by-side view.

Each zone page goes deep: median, days on market, sale-to-list, character and streets, the elementary school, the NYC commute, and a card per recent sale.
Yantacaw
The price ceiling of Nutley single-family. Tree-lined blocks east of Centre Street, larger lots, big Colonials. Demand is consistently the heaviest in town.
Explore Yantacaw →Radcliffe
The Park Oval side of town — walkability, the library, the historic mill. Mix of Colonials and Tudors on quiet streets that buyers seek out specifically.
Explore Radcliffe →Spring Garden
Quietly competitive. Smaller Colonials and Capes on tidy lots, close to Bloomfield. Often the entry point for buyers who want Nutley but get priced out of Yantacaw.
Explore Spring Garden →Washington
The Passaic-side section. Diverse housing stock — Capes, Colonials, the occasional Ranch — and the easiest commute by car. Value with shorter days on market.
Explore Washington →Lincoln
The most affordable entry into Nutley single-family. Smaller homes, denser blocks, strong rental crossover. Where many first-time buyers actually land.

Reading The Map
What the zone differences are actually about
Nutley is one town with one high school and one middle school. The elementary attendance zones are what carve it into five housing markets. The drivers, roughly in order:
Housing stock and lot size. Yantacaw and Radcliffe have the deeper lots, the bigger Colonials, the wider streets. Washington and Lincoln have more variety and smaller footprints. Spring Garden sits between.
Walk-quality and "block feel." Park Oval (Radcliffe), the streets around Yantacaw Park, the historic blocks south of the river — these are zones where buyers slow down on the drive-by. That's worth real money.
Commute friction. Lincoln and Washington sit closest to the Bloomfield Avenue corridor and the buses out; Yantacaw is the longest drive to a NJ Transit station but the easiest walk to coffee and the high school. There's no objectively-best — but buyers pay differently for each.
Inventory turnover. Yantacaw houses change hands less often, which keeps supply tight and prices firm. Lincoln turns over more, which gives buyers more shots on goal at the trade-off of softer pricing.
