Clement Avenue

An intimate, low-traffic residential street with a strong sense of block community.

Clement Avenue in context

Clement Avenue sits in a quiet interior block south of East 7th Street, with houses dating primarily to the 1910–1925 period of Elizabeth's growth.

Clement Avenue runs through a quiet interior block south of east 7th street, part of the streetcar-era grid laid out in the 1910–1925 period of the neighborhood's growth. Its width, setback pattern, and canopy are broadly representative of Elizabeth's historic core, and the street is used often in local walking tours and preservation materials as an example of the neighborhood's residential character.

Houses along the street reflect the craftsman bungalow styles common to this stretch of the district, generally set back a consistent distance from the sidewalk with mature trees forming a canopy over the roadway. Front porches remain a defining feature on most of the block, and many owners have restored original wood siding, window trim, and porch columns as part of recent renovation work.

Daily conditions on Clement Avenue include narrow lots and tight on-street parking, and residents generally describe the street as walkable to nearby amenities within Elizabeth, including Independence Park and the small commercial clusters along East 7th Street and Elizabeth Avenue.
