East Orange can offer affordable housing and low cost of living to its residents, despite its close proximity to New York City.

This convenient site is just a half mile south of the East Orange train station, owned by New Jersey Transit and offering Midtown Direct service to Penn Station.
The East Orange General Hospital is the closest large facility in the immediate area, and has 211 beds and 355 employees. Also within a short walking distance are several well patronized restaurants, a coffee shop, East Orange Public Library, Elmwood Park, small grocery, gas station, and pharmacies. Not only is 225-231 Central Avenue close to all these popular destinations, but also has excellent visibility with 100+ feet along a busy four-lane street en route to the major highways.
The City of East Orange participates in New Jersey’s Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) program, which is a great incentive for the business owners that opt in, as well as their patrons and community. Tax credits and discounted sales tax on qualifying purchases for the business are offered to participants, and shoppers can enjoy half off the regular 7% sales tax on all purchases. The sales tax collected are allocated for the improvements within the district, and to date the UEZ has approved $590 million in projects revitalizing business districts, such as here on Central Avenue.
