The Radcliffe Section
Radcliffe is the Nutley section buyers describe as "the one that feels like a town." Park Oval, the library, walkable to Franklin Avenue, with housing stock that runs Colonial-Tudor-Craftsman and rewards the buyers who care about character. Number two by median, but not by much — and frequently the section that buyers prefer once they've seen both.

The Section, Plainly
What it's like to live in Radcliffe
Radcliffe wraps the historic center of Nutley — Park Oval, the library, the township buildings — with residential streets that are some of the most walkable in town. Compared to Yantacaw's deeper lots and bigger Colonials, Radcliffe is denser and more textured: Tudors and Craftsmans mixed in with the Colonials, smaller front yards, the kind of architectural variety that buyers are willing to pay for.
The blocks immediately around Park Oval — Vincent Place, Cathedral Avenue, parts of Highfield Lane — carry the consistent “town feel” that drives the section's price. Further south and west, Radcliffe gets closer to the Bloomfield border and the housing stock thins.
Day-to-day life in Radcliffe is the closest Nutley gets to a downtown experience: the library, the small commercial strip, the park itself. For buyers coming from Brooklyn or Jersey City, this is often the section that translates most cleanly.
