Fairfield, Essex County
What we see in Fairfield
Fairfield is a township of about 10 square miles in far northwestern Essex County, bordered by North Caldwell and West Caldwell in Essex, East Hanover, Lincoln Park, and Montville in Morris, and Little Falls and Wayne in Passaic. Interstate 80 and Route 46 split the township, and Route 159 also passes through. With about 7,900 residents, it had the lowest population density in Essex County in 2020. Fairfield is home to Essex County Airport and the marshland of Great Piece Meadows.
Selling a house in Fairfield: what's different here
Passaic River buyouts
In December 2011, federal officials announced about $3.1 million to buy roughly 12 flood-prone Fairfield homes along the Passaic and Pompton river system, with the houses to be torn down and the land returned to open space. Homes still standing in low areas can face flood-insurance requirements that complicate a mortgage. We buy with cash, so no lender sets those terms.
Great Piece Meadows
Great Piece Meadows covers about 1,170 acres, mostly marshland, in the low ground near the Passaic. Houses near wetlands and floodplain can need elevation certificates, flood coverage, and extra review before any expansion. Retail buyers often walk away once those come up. We review the property ourselves and make a cash offer that already accounts for the location.
The original Caldwell Township
Fairfield was created as Caldwell Township in 1798, and Livingston, Caldwell, Verona, North Caldwell, Essex Fells, and West Caldwell were later carved from it. It took the Fairfield name in 1963. Older deeds and surveys on long-held properties can still refer to the former township name. Our title company handles that history as part of a normal closing.

Questions from Fairfield sellers
Fairfield FAQ
Do you buy Fairfield homes that have flooded before?
Yes. We buy houses with past flood damage as-is and price them with that history in mind, so you do not need to repair or elevate first.
Will you buy a house in the Clinton or Clinton Park area of Fairfield?
Yes. We buy homes throughout the township, including Clinton and Clinton Park, for cash on your timeline.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Fairfield house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Essex County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
