Newark Develops: Before-and-After Photos Show How Much City Has Changed

NEWARK, NJ — In the geological sense, 10 years is just the blink of an eye. But when you’re talking real estate development, a decade can be an eternity.

Apartment search website RENTCafe recently illustrated the difference 120 months can make to a city’s real estate landscape by constructing a before-and-after photo gallery of Newark, the largest city in New Jersey.

“As Newark’s real estate economy continues to grow and attract investors, the city’s skyline has also filled out with new structures, many of which blend Newark’s classical style of architecture with the latest urban design trends,” RENTCafe states.

Using GoogleMaps data, the website then put together a photo gallery comparing the Newark landscapes of the past decade with their current iterations.

Check out the photos below (drag the cursor back and forth to access the before-and-after slides). Link to the full article here.
