Newark’s Scattered Sites Housing Revival

Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District turns Newark’s forgotten eyesore at 68 Sherman Ave into a thriving two-family home — the first of four “Scattered Sites” flips aimed at building wealth, stability, and affordable homeownership in the city. With three bedrooms, parking, a finished basement, and a backyard, this isn’t just housing — it’s a lifeline. Mayor Ras Baraka joined the ribbon-cutting, calling homeownership key to closing the wealth gap. More projects are coming — three more sites slated for 2026–2027 — turning blight into opportunity and reshaping Newark’s future one home at a time.
