Understand

In the late 1800s, millworkers in nearby Lawrenceville constructed small row houses designed for single families and businesses in the style of their homeland. Today, well-maintained rowhomes along quaint, narrow streets characterize Bloomfield. Here homes are often passed down through families, and grandchildren usually live just a few blocks from grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Get in

  • It is easily accessible via Liberty Avenue, Penn Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard. Bloomfield's name was derived from the many wild flowers that bloomed there years ago.
