Clinton Hill Neighborhood Network

Clinton Hill Community

Clinton Hill is a neighborhood in South Central, Newark, New Jersey. It is centered at Clinton Avenue, and bounded roughly by Elizabeth Avenue in the east, Hawthorne Avenue in the south, Avon Avenue in the north, and Irvington in the west.

Upper Clinton Hill is predominantly residential, with many of the homes also being the offices of professionals. Most retail activity along Clinton and Hawthorne Avenues is in the form of neighborhood-oriented convenience-type stores. Nearest to the commercial streets, the housing is largely two- and three-family conversions, while the interior streets include many large, well-maintained single-family houses. 

The Clinton Hill Community Resource Center, a division of the Episcopal Community Development, Inc. provides outreach and community development to the residents of the Clinton Hill neighborhoods and surrounding South Ward communities. 

In September, CHCRC launched it's "Bring Back Our Neighborhood Campaign" which focuses on creating a vibrant community through the process of collaborating with businesses, block associations, community groups and stakeholders to foster the renaissance of the Clinton Hill area and address the quality of life issues.
