Hoboken

Character: Just across the river from Manhattan is the thriving, upscale community of Hoboken, New Jersey. Itself comprised of an “uptown” and a “downtown”, the community is made up of tree-lined streets, quaint shops and upscale residences.

Overall, Hoboken has a preppy/clean-cut feel, with the uptown area being a bit more posh and refined, while the downtown area centers around local nightlife and the younger crowd.

Hoboken serves as a great transition to the New York area for suburbanites, providing a more residential area with the city roughly 12 minutes away by train.

One can find a variety of restaurants on the main drag of Washing Street, but most notably are the handful of Zagat-rated sushi restaurants, as well as many bar and grills.

Hoboken residents also enjoy a thriving music scene, based around legendary venue Maxwell's which draws in many indie and alternative rock acts. Although small in comparison to New York, Hoboken's art scene houses open studios and gallery nights each month.

Sprinkled with parks and a picturesque waterfront area (complete with beautiful Manahattan views), Hoboken is a slightly slower-paced alternative to The Big Apple that's only a stone's throw away.

Demographics: Downtown Hoboken is populated by mostly post-college 20-somethings, either working in the city or continuing education. Being only a few minutes away from New York's Financial District and Wall Street, uptown Hoboken has been settled by many financial professionals and their families.
