Hoboken
-
a community filled with quaint specialty shops, bars &
restaurants, a prominent professional community, highly regarded college, and
home for some of the NY metro area's most prominent artists, musicians and entertainers.
Many of Hoboken's buildings were erected in the 19th Century to standards set by the Hoboken Land & Improvement Company which was
created in 1838 to manage the city's development and
created Hoboken's orderly street pattern, and brought a consistency, and coherence to its architecture and real estate. The City of Hoboken itself was incorporated
in 1855.
Today, Hoboken is
a colorful mix of cultures and home to a large and growing population identified not
just by the diverse ethnic makeup, but by their education, careers, families and life choices.
Hoboken has seen its re-birth as one of the preferred places to live in New Jersey just minutes by PATH or Ferry from Manhattan along the Hudson River Gold Coast. Hoboken's real estate consists of blocks of restored brownstones and a large number of recently built luxury
townhome, condominium (condo) buildings.
Hoboken is well
known for its vibrant Washington Street. Lined with continental bistros,
neighborhood pubs, old world cafes and unique boutiques, the lively street
is a favorite destination. Residents also delight in the beautiful views
from Sinatra Park alongside the Hudson River facing Manhattan.
Hoboken is famous for its many festivals and cultural celebrations,
including the summertime "Movies Under the Stars."

Because of the congestion, mile-square Hoboken, by necessity, is considered a walkable
town. Many properties do not have included parking and on-street parking
and public garage parking is limited. The average age in Hoboken
tends to range in the middle to upper 30s.
