Ordermore Avenue

A short residential street with a modest, consistent bungalow scale.

Ordermore Avenue in context

Ordermore Avenue is a short interior street toward the district's eastern edge, and it is one of the addresses in Elizabeth that people remember for its name. The street itself is unremarkable in the best sense: a modest, consistent run of bungalows with little traffic and few surprises.

Construction dates to roughly 1918 through 1932, later than the district's earliest blocks, and the houses reflect that with somewhat simpler detail than the showpiece streets. Block length is short, so the total house count is small and neighbors are few. Canopy coverage is modest rather than dense.

The realistic assessment is that this street offers Elizabeth's location and era at its plainer end. Buyers who want the neighborhood without the premium attached to park frontage or architectural distinction find streets like Ordermore useful, and renovation upside on a simpler house is often greater than on one that has already been restored.
