Property Description

This is a wealth building opportunity to own a home through the Essex Community Land Trust (ECLT) that may seem to good to be true, but is actually for real. This is more than a home, it's a pathway to stability and homeownership. What allows this home to be as affordable as it is, is a 99-year ground lease with an affordability clause that is applied to the land itself to ensure long-term affordability and stability of the property. This charming home is nestled into the quiet corner of Bloomfield, just steps away from Watsessing Park offering the best of both worlds - convenience and an escape from the hustle and bustle. Located on a tree-lined street with nearby cafes, green space, walking paths, and recreational space in a highly walkable neighborhood. You're just a short distance to downtown Bloomfield, with easy access to NJ Transit and a commute to NYC of 30-40 minutes. Those that are eligible to purchase earn $72,950-$109,942 annually with a 640+ credit score. To further qualify, prospective buyers must attend/register for an 8-hour HUD certified class taking place on Saturday April 18, 2026, starting at 9 am at the Timberlake Charles Community Empowerment Center, 520 Main St. Suite 1B, East Orange, NJ 07018 (entrance on Prospect St.), go through the ECLT intake process, and be able to qualify for a mortgage to purchase the home itself.
