Hoboken Overview

Featuring a prime location right on the shores of the mighty Hudson River, Hoboken has risen to become one of the most prominent hotspots in all of New Jersey. Brimming with blue collar pride and a hub for both industry and the arts, this charming locale is an ideal spot for both on-the-go young professionals and growing families alike.

What is the history of Hoboken?

1855 saw the birth of Hoboken as a city, quickly establishing itself as a beacon of shipping, both via port and rail. The nation's first mechanical engineering school was initiated in 1870, and by the turn of the century Hoboken was as well known for being the 'birthplace of baseball' as it was a leader in steel, tea and shipyard industries. The addition of the Holland Tunnel in 1927 made the New York to New Jersey connection that much stronger, and the 1980s to present day have shown the staying power of this dynamic hot spot.

How is the weather in Hoboken?

Summers tend to be warm and often humid, with cold winters that can sometimes produce snow accumulation. Spring and fall are generally pleasant, with light jackets the norm in the evening. Rain comes with the spring thaw, and can be heavy at times.

How do I get around town?

Hoboken residents make up some of the most prolific public transportation users in the entire country, with well over 50% of locals using alternative transport. Light Rail covers much of the city, and the NY Waterway Ferry system is a popular option for commuters as well. Almost a dozen different bus lines run throughout the city at large, and a bike sharing system was initiated in 2016 by Netxbike. Taxis are another constant option, and many residents of Hoboken apartments choose to forgo the expense and headaches of owning a car or truck.

What is the Hoboken commute like?

The Lincoln Tunnel and the Holland Tunnel both connect Hoboken to much of the tri-state area, and Paterson Plank Road heads direct to Jersey Heights. The traffic can snarl for miles during peak hours, and commuting residents of Hoboken apartments often wisely opt for public transportation rather than to fight the slothful pace of a car.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Jersey Journal' and the 'Hoboken Reporter' both act as primary print media in the city, with regional exports like the 'NY Times' also commonplace on stands. Radio runs the gamut from classic rock to R&B, talk to sporting news formats. Most broadcast affiliates like NBC and FOX are found with ease within Hoboken apartments.

Why live in Hoboken, NJ?

Offering close proximity to a number of nightlife options, world-class dining and even notable landmarks from film and television shows, this dynamic city is big on the plus and lacking on the minus. Toss in the convenient access to Manhattan and its job market, and Hoboken shines even brighter.

What Hoboken landmarks should I see?

Carlo's Bake Shop has been featured in the popular television program 'Cake Boss', and attracts fans from miles around, while the Stevens Institute of Technology branches back all the way to the 1800s. Lower Frank Sinatra Drive pays scenic homage to the birthplace of the iconic singer, and the famed Clock on 11th Street is as historic as it gets.

What is there to do around Hoboken?

Grabs some friends and hit the indie rock scene with a show at Maxwell's, or get dramatic with a performance from the Hudson Shakespeare Company. Castle Point Park is a fantastic place to unwind with a good book, and the bright lights of New York City are just a quick train ride away.
