The Lincoln Section
Lincoln is the southern section — smaller homes on denser blocks, the most affordable entry point into Nutley single-family by a clear margin. A $596K median is roughly $200K below Yantacaw; the houses are correspondingly smaller. But the elementary, the access to Bloomfield Avenue, and the same town-wide middle/high school as the rest of Nutley make this the section that gets a lot of first-time-buyer attention.

The Section, Plainly
What it's like to live in Lincoln
Lincoln is the southern portion of Nutley, generally south of Park Avenue and bordering Bloomfield. The housing stock is the most modest in town: smaller Colonials and Capes from the 1920s–40s on tighter lots, with some two-family conversions and a strong rental crossover. That's reflected in the median sale price, which runs roughly $200K below Yantacaw.
The 102% sale-to-list ratio is the lowest in town, which doesn't mean the section is soft — it means buyers and sellers here are pricing more accurately to begin with. The 19-day median DOM is in line with town-wide. The blocks closest to Lincoln Elementary and the Bloomfield border tend to carry the most consistent demand.
For first-time buyers who want into Nutley, Lincoln is frequently where the math actually works. Same middle school, same high school, same town — at a price point that closes the deal.
