The Commute

Hoboken has the highest public transportation use of any city in the US, which means there are great options for commuting. Use the Hoboken Terminal to get anywhere you need to go whether it be by bus, train, PATH or ferry boat. Commute to NYC in less than 20 minutes.

What to Expect:

Hoboken is a great place to be if you want to be surrounded and immersed in activities and adventure. Besides its nightlife, there are also running clubs, sports teams, parks, a museum, great waterfront jogging and much, much more.

The property here is affordable which makes it actually feasible to own a car. It’s easy to get to, filled with young people and you can be to downtown Manhattan quicker than people in uptown Manhattan (or anywhere else in the city for that matter).

Why We Love Hoboken

We love Hoboken for the opportunities it poses for our clients. It provides us with all the amenities of being in New York without being in New York. Move to Hoboken and enjoy the view and convenience of it.

There is a lot of development being done in the wonderful city of Hoboken. After Hurricane Sandy ripped through, people have been focused on improving Hoboken. If you thought Hoboken was great now, wait ten years to see the progress made!
