Garwood Real Estate

Traditional detached and small multifamily housing remains a major part of the borough, with short distances to rail, schools, shopping and neighboring downtowns.

The South Avenue redevelopment area added a large mixed-use residential community with ground-floor retail, followed by an additional residential phase across the street.

Transit-oriented apartment development along North Avenue benefits from immediate access to Garwood Station and the North Avenue commercial corridor.

Current 2026 redevelopment planning addresses a former industrial property and contemplates substantial new multifamily and age-restricted housing subject to adopted plans and approvals.

Check the exact parcel’s zoning, redevelopment-plan status, permitted uses, setbacks, parking and any variance or site-plan history.

Verify additions, finished basements, renovations, open permits and required certificates with the appropriate borough department.

Garwood’s small size means rail lines and busy North/South Avenue corridors can materially affect noise, access and commute convenience block by block.

Use current FEMA and municipal information for the exact property; do not infer flood risk solely from neighborhood or street name.

Verify municipal and county property records rather than relying only on a listing portal’s tax summary.

Confirm current Garwood school and high-school sending arrangements directly with the district when school placement matters to a move.
