Secaucus
- Minutes from Manhattan -
Before the 1950s, Secaucus was home to a
number of
pig farms,
rendering plants, and junk yards,
which gave the town a reputation for being one of the most odorous in
the
New York metropolitan area. However,
gentrification and redevelopment has
improve the town's image and the pig farms and rendering plants and
junk yards are long gone now.
Secaucus is:
-
In the midst of a continuing
development boom anchored by new or planned residential, commercial,
retail shopping and entertainment developments. Plus, Secaucus
benefits greatly from the tremendous development in the Meadowlands
directly to the west of Secaucus.
-
Surrounded by the Meadowlands and on the west by
the Hackensack River and on the east by the NJ Turnpike Lincoln Tunnel
Extension. The town is located
astride Route 3 a few miles from the Hudson River
and Manhattan.
-
and, has an exceptionally good road and rail transportation. The town is
divided into four by the intersecting roads of
NJ 3, which runs east and west, and the eastern spur of the
New Jersey Turnpike, which runs north-south, with an interchange
(16E/17) at NJ Route 3 and a new interchange 15X near the Secaucus
Junction. In addition. Secaucus is directly accessible from the
New Jersey Turnpike from
either Exit 16W or 16E.
Secaucus has two major condo developments - Harmon Cove and Riverside
Court - both on the west side on the Hackensack River.
The
rest of the housing inventory is
predominately single family housing.
The town is know for its quiet, family atmosphere as compared to the more dense urban-type Goldcoast
towns to the east like Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, West New York,
Union City, Guttenberg, Cliffside Park, and Edgewater.
