Neighborhood Profile

Sprinkled with parks and a picturesque waterfront area (complete with beautiful Manhattan views), Hoboken is a slightly slower-paced alternative to The Big Apple that's only a stone's throw away. Itself comprised of an “uptown” and a “downtown”, the community is made up of tree-lined streets, quaint shops and upscale residences. Overall, Hoboken has a preppy/clean-cut feel, with the uptown area being a bit more posh and refined, while the downtown area centers around local nightlife and the younger crowd. Hoboken serves as a great transition to the New York area for suburbanites, providing a more residential area with the city roughly 12 minutes away by train. One can find a variety of restaurants on the main drag of Washing Street, but most notably are the handful of Zagat-rated sushi restaurants, as well as many bar and grills.
