Hillside, Union County
What we see in Hillside
Hillside is a 2.78-square-mile township on the northern edge of Union County, bordered by Newark and Irvington in Essex County, Elizabeth, and Union. It was formed from part of Union Township in 1913, with land that had once belonged to Newark, Elizabeth, and Union. The Garden State Parkway, I-78, Route 22, and Route 439 cross town, and Newark Airport is about two miles east. Sections include Westminster, the area near Chancellor Avenue, and parts of Lyons Farms and Saybrooke.
Selling a house in Hillside: what's different here
Factory-era neighborhoods
Lionel made toy trains at a Hillside factory from 1929 to 1974, employing up to 2,000 people, and the central part of town grew around local manufacturers. The township's economy peaked in the 1960s. Houses from those decades can need new systems, roofs, or foundation work that buyers' inspectors flag. We buy them as-is for cash.
Elizabeth River and Conant Park
The Elizabeth River runs along Conant Park, Hillside's largest park, established in the early 1950s. Homes near the river can raise flood-zone questions for a buyer's lender and insurer. We check the flood status ourselves and pay cash, so a buyer's insurance quote doesn't decide whether your sale goes through.
Highways but no train
Hillside has no passenger rail station; the nearest are Union and North Elizabeth. Buses 113 and 114 run to the Port Authority, and the Parkway, I-78, and Route 22 all pass through. If your house sits on a busy road or needs work, we make a cash offer on it in its current condition and close when you're ready.

Questions from Hillside sellers
Hillside FAQ
Do you buy homes in the Westminster section of Hillside?
Yes. We buy houses anywhere in Hillside, including Westminster, as-is and for cash.
My Hillside house is near the Elizabeth River. Will that affect your offer?
We review the flood-zone status, but it doesn't stop us from buying. We pay cash, so you don't need a buyer to qualify for flood insurance or a mortgage.
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 Hillside 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 Union County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
