Commuter convenience defines Elmora, where renters enjoy surprisingly suburban atmosphere with easy access to both Newark and Manhattan via multiple transit options. Pre-war apartment buildings feature larger floor plans than typically available in newer construction, often including dining rooms and entrance foyers uncommon in contemporary designs.
