Peaceful hometown feel along the riverfront
This homey city sprawls along the waterfront surrounding the Lincoln Tunnel, giving it stunning views and an easy bus ride into Manhattan. A microcosm of the metropolitan area, it’s home to numerous neighborhood draws such as dog-friendly parks, library events for the kids, and other recreation.
Here, housing ranges from less-expensive co-ops and condos to large mansions overlooking the city skyline. Because of its variety of housing options, Weehawken attracts families looking for a quiet, hometown atmosphere to young professionals who want an easy commute but enjoy the space they’re afforded here in comparison to what they’d get in the city. Everything about this city feels homey and serene. It’s small, though it doesn’t feel as compact as some of its neighboring cities, and it's the type of place you know your neighbors and are supported by the community.
Perched atop the Hudson River Palisades, Weehawken has more to offer than simply breathtaking views, a cheaper price tag, and a commute to NYC.
Here, residents find that a tight-knit community emphasizing a family-friendly atmosphere and pleasant locales can thrive. Parks, fine cuisine, delicious cocktails, and fun outings all have their place in this quaint, friendly city. Beyond only that, families love this city for its great educational opportunities. As if that weren’t enough, the rich history in this region stems all the way back to the country’s founding, giving the area an air of memorable, notable importance.
Though the serenity of Weekhawken results in fewer nightlife options, the incredibly short commute to nightlife-heavy Manhattan, Jersey City, or Hoboken negates any problems. The waterfront right next door in Hoboken offers many tried and true gems.
Looking for fine dining accompanied by gorgeous views? Look no further than local favorites such as Chart House, Molos Restaurant, Porter Masina Trattoria, or Ruth’s Chris.

Beyond traveling under the Hudson via NJ transit buses or the quick and pretty routes of the network of ferries or water taxis, Weehawken offers a free waterfront shuttle during rush hours.
