East Orange, Essex County
What we see in East Orange
East Orange is a city of about 3.9 square miles bordered by Newark to the east and south, South Orange to the southwest, Orange to the west, and Glen Ridge and Bloomfield to the north. Interstate 280 and the Garden State Parkway cross the city, and NJ Transit stops at East Orange and Brick Church stations on the Morris & Essex Lines. Nearly 70,000 people live here, in more than 30,000 housing units ranging from single-family homes to apartment buildings.
Selling a house in East Orange: what's different here
Highways through Greenwood
Building Interstate 280 and the Garden State Parkway cut through the Greenwood area and disrupted Main Street, one of the city's main east-west commercial avenues. Houses on blocks next to the highways deal with traffic noise that some retail buyers will not accept. We make offers on homes near the highway corridors and price them as they sit.
Ampere to Presidential Estates
East Orange has five wards and several informal neighborhoods: Ampere, which grew around the Crocker Wheeler plant; Greenwood, or the Teen Streets; Presidential Estates, with large homes on streets named for early presidents; Elmwood in the southeast; and Doddtown, home of the former Upsala College campus. We buy houses in all of them.
Vacant houses
The city counted about 30,000 housing units with a vacancy rate near 10 percent. An empty house still carries taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep, and it can draw break-ins or code complaints while it waits for a retail buyer. We buy vacant East Orange houses as-is, so the carrying costs stop at closing.

Questions from East Orange sellers
East Orange FAQ
Do you buy multi-family houses in East Orange with tenants still living there?
Yes. We can buy occupied houses and take over the tenancies at closing, so you do not have to deliver the building empty.
My house is right by I-280. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. We buy homes along the highway corridors and factor the location into a straightforward cash offer.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a East Orange house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Essex County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
