Fenton Place

Pairs with Ordermore Avenue as a quiet, short residential block.

Fenton Place in context

Fenton Place is the companion to Ordermore Avenue — another short eastern block with minimal through traffic, modest lots, and a small number of houses. Streets like this one make up more of Elizabeth than the photographs suggest, and they are where much of the neighborhood's day-to-day life actually happens.

The houses are Craftsman bungalows from roughly 1918 to 1932, generally one story, with the porch as the primary architectural gesture. Lot sizes are small, so exterior expansion options are limited and the practical renovation moves are interior reconfiguration and attic or rear additions.

Very low traffic is the street's defining amenity. Nobody drives down a short block by accident, which produces the quiet that residents cite and the low turnover that follows from it. Buyers should expect limited availability and should verify historic district status for the specific address, since the boundary runs through this part of the neighborhood.
