Hillside, Union County
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.
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.
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.
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
Yes. We buy houses anywhere in Hillside, including Westminster, as-is and for cash.
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.
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.
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.
