Default Wayne - Flood Area

My family and I are interested in homes in the Edith Court/Newark Ave section of Wayne. Does anyone have any information on how badly it floods in this section? Is it yearly? It's right off of Rt 23 (New York Ave.)

Thanks!

that is near the mountain view section and just on the border of lincoln park. i think it's safe to say that area floods after any good rain. does that home have a basement? if so make sure there is a sumpump and french drain. elevate the washer and dryer, dont keep stuff down there that should not get wet. make sure you inspect the whole house for mold.
i remember a co worker of mine lived in that area--no basement, big storm (i think it was almost a hurricame) and all her furniture got ruined...

Sorry to burst your bubble but that is one of the worst flood areas in Wayne. It floods at least once a year .
