Hoboken

Overall: Hoboken is a much more compact neighborhood than Jersey City. It is to the north of Jersey City and the south of Weehawken. It is facing West Village and Chelsea across the Hudson River. In contrast to Jersey City where new high-rise development has been rampant in recent years, Hoboken's new development seem much more stable. Because most of the city is subject to height restrictions for development, most of Hoboken's home types are townhouses, two/three-family houses, and apartment buildings with a small numbers of units. Walking down in Hoboken's downtown on Washington Street, you will find amazing restaurants, bakeries, cafes. You many also run into your neighbors in this tight-knitted community. But just in a few minutes' walk, you are overlooking the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline, seeing runners, bikers, strolling families enjoying Manhattan without being in Manhattan. Long-time residents find it hard to leave, and families from Brooklyn and NYC especially are moving in and settling down. In summary, Hoboken's intimacy is unparalleled. Plus, home prices are more affordable here than NYC's.
