"WARNING..."
The good news is that the section of Newark that is closest to the Dumbarton Bridge is filled with business parks, and is not very residential at all. The better news is that Marshlands Road is even more uninhabited than the rest of the area; virtually empty save a few government buildings.
The bad news? The area is completely overtaken by a sewage treatment area that anyone driving over the Dumbarton Bridge can smell. It is completely potent, even with windows shut, and is extremely hard to miss. I always wonder how people manage to WORK in the area, and could certainly not imagine living here.
So if some real estate developer decides, down the line, to build a seemingly underpriced network of condos in the area, be sure to steer clear. If you are moving to Newark, head for the hills (literally!) and go as far east as you can so as to avoid this area.

Dumbarton flats: This is raw sewage. It is not mud flats decay or normal salt marsh action as some are saying. I've been near treatment plants many times in my life and NOTHING has been this bad. It's totally unacceptable. Who is responsible?
