The district is just south of Four Corners on the east side of Broad Street and the Prudential Center and north of Newark Symphony Hall and the The Coast neighborhood. To the west near Mulberry Street is the area that at one time was Newark's Chinatown, and host to restaurants serving the district and the sports center. The surrounding area includes mid-rise government buildings and at-grade parking lots.

Government buildings

At one time Federal Square had been called Vroom Alley, but was renamed in recognition of the concentration of the following buildings:

  • Peter W. Rodino, Jr. Federal Office Building
  • Newark City Hall
  • Main Post Office and U.S. Courthouse
  • Police Headquarters & Municipal Court Building
  • Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse
