The Spring Garden Section
Spring Garden is the quiet workhorse zone of Nutley single-family. Smaller Colonials and Capes on tidy lots, close to Bloomfield, with a median that sits just below town-wide. The section's 106% sale-to-list ratio — the second-highest of any zone in 2026 — tells you what you need to know: well-priced houses here move fast and clear comps.

The Section, Plainly
What it's like to live in Spring Garden
Spring Garden is the northwestern corner of Nutley, bordered by Bloomfield to the west and Belleville to the north. The section's housing stock is smaller, on average, than Yantacaw and Radcliffe — mostly mid-century Colonials and Capes on modest lots — but the zone has its own loyal buyer pool. The 106% sale-to-list ratio in 2026 is the second-highest in town.
The streets immediately around Spring Garden Elementary and the blocks east of N. Spring Garden Avenue carry the strongest comps. Further west, the section runs up against the Bloomfield border, where housing stock and lot sizes start to shift.
For day-to-day, Bloomfield Avenue is right there for restaurants and errands. The commercial core of Nutley is a short drive east on Franklin. The section feels less “town center” than Radcliffe, more “neighborhood” than Yantacaw — which is exactly what a particular kind of Nutley buyer is looking for.
