TOP 3 Reasons To Move To WEEHAWKEN, NJ

[@McElhinney65]

My first week in NY was in 2013 when I retired from the police in England. My son and I came for a week in November. We returned in 2014 in order to see the Thanksgiving celebrations - most English people have no idea what Thanksgiving is all about. I returned in 2018 with my new partner and her teenage sons. On every occasion I have rented properties in Weehawken. The Manhattan skyline views, walking along the Hudson at night listening to the waves lapping on the beach, getting away from the madness of Manhattan, Weehawken is amazing.

[@trance212]

McElhinney65 that’s awesome you love Weehawken! 😊🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

[@3dplanet100]

Other alternatives to live are: Union City, Jersey City, North Bergen, Guttenberg, West New York, Hoboken, Secaucus, Kearny, East Newark, Harrison, and Newark (near the Penn Station) if you work in Midtown Manhattan or Lower Manhattan and needs to commute there. And if you work in Upper Manhattan, a good alternative would be Fortlee.

[@rentslave]

Don't move to Harrison.The illegals steal all of the parking spaces.At night,an out of town illegal picks them up for a night of DWI while you remain imprisoned at home doing your Macaulay Culkin thing..The Mayor and the Town Council won't get rid of them because they need the votes.

[@rogerlewis1361]

Fort Lee is expensive

[@shirlspark_stardust]

What about East Orange Brick Church Orange west orange south Orange alone the Dover Gladstone Sunmit lines I reside there and work in NYC it’s not bad at all.

[@trance212]

I’d rather live in Weehawken (and the surrounding towns) than many parts of NYC. Native NYer and...I’m over NYC.

[@LuisGarcia-cl4ij]

Forget owning a car, since parking is impossible to find.

[@rogerlewis1361]

Facts!

[@edelacrz]

Parking in easy in my neighborhood!

[@artistcon3]

Not true.

[@RobertoLopezstudyis]

Weehawken is a very nice neighborhood in New Jersey and it has great views of the Midtown Manhattan skyscrapers! I love this video a lot!

[@Meira750]

BTW, Hamilton Park is where Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr fought their famous duel.

I’ve Always Wanted to go to Hamilton Park “Then Stand Alexander! Weehawken, Dawn. Guns, Drawn.

[@Meira750]

[@ortizdom1962]

I can't believe I missed the opportunity to buy a property for $200k in 1998,in Weehawken, that property is worth now half a million.

[@rogerlewis1361]

truckero ortiz half million....those are the cheap homes.

[@Sthmohtwenty]

Same all over hse price all up

[@鼹鼠-p1f]

I cannot believe a $200k investment in 1998 only turned $500k tbh. Should be 10x at least if you invested in anything else

[@tonyt8765]

Really !! Lol o I have lived here all my life and I have to say that yes the views are perfect but parking is a headache , taxes are high , rents are expensive , property taxes through the roof and counting, traffic jams because of the Lincoln tunnel and the neighboring towns , ohh and some roads can not be accessed during peak hours of rush hour , must have a resident parking permit for your car or get towed away plus summons by police , infact any town on Hudson county is just expensive and the locals are being priced out which is a fact. Say maybe 15 to 20 years all of Hudson County will be the towns for the wealthy only . Good luck

[@bustercherry9643]

My grandfather was born in Weehawken. He got out as soon as he could.

[@PennilessPolitics]

You guys don't do Rockaway? Now a ferry to Rockaway Park from where you can see both magnificent Sunrise and Sunset both over the water. ( In winter)

[@allnyc3412]

Will put it on the list

[@TrainsFerriesFeet]

It's affordable, but so far out. How long does it take to get to Manhattan on the ferry?

[@Railhog2102]

Weehawken was once a railroad stop on the old New York Central RR and O&W West Shore line where was a terminal and tunnel before the light rail

[@ezequiel55]

Billion dollar views, super easy transportation by ferry or bus.. weekends you will get to NYC in 15 or less by bus, rush hour is rush hour so get over it. Some of THE best restaurants and much, much more. As a realtor for a decade plus in this area I will say it has always been a pleasure introducing this and the surrounding towns to New Yorkers & out of towners. Come by.. you'll love it.

[@rebeccahan3719]

Please don’t move to Weehawken and make it harder for everyone else here.

[@bklynslipnjimmy]

Lol

[@NYCDemonDiva]

rebecca han lmao I was thinking that 😂

[@ijonuigbo7417]

Hilarious

[@amandafevrier2638]

Why ?????

[@amandafevrier2638]

How is it making harder for everyone else here ?

[@wesleywright6458]

Not to be that person, but no mention of the either Hamilton or his son dying in duels here? I mean Weehawken is picturesque, but he's a ten dollar founding father.

[@gerryomo9515]

Wesley Wright yup

[@SpiralBreeze]

Don’t move here, too much drugs, no parking, massive traffic jams from the tunnel, a bunch of empty storefronts and there is dog crap everywhere because apparently people who own million dollar homes like dog crap on their side walks. Also don’t forget the air quality. The windowsills are covered in black soot.

[@mstyles2667]

ALL FACTS.

[@SpiralBreeze]

I know the drugs dealers too! Nice guys but a bunch of idiots. Also for the record, poor people around here only smoke weed it’s the rich people popping xanys addys and doing coke.

[@edelacrz]

What part of Weehawken do you live in? I don't see that in my hood!

[@aidasall4815]

I’ve lived here literally my whole life & I’ve been to all of these places at least 1,000 times - I pass all those spots every single day lol.

[@yodai3393]

Dude i know and like first time i ever ever saw this on youtube AT ALL

[@Meira750]

I lived my first 28 years just up the road, Blvd. East, from Weehawken in a town called North Bergen, even tho it's still Hudson County. Blame the Dutch settlers. We call that stretch of NJ, "the sixth borough." I spent most of my childhood and young adult years in Manhattan, not the burbs.

[@judithnicholais1492]

Raised to age 5 1/2 in Weehawkin. Then Pops moved us to the suburbs where my 12 yr old brother who wanted to play football in Weehawkin could have died of boredom not to mention losing all his friends. -- We truly had a nice upbringing in small town America but no football @ the HSchool, & more cornfields, toads and grasshoppers than you could shake a fist at. Sometimes wonder how life would have turned out had I gone from that baby in the carriage on Bergenline Ave to a fully grown city kid.

[@lovejones0686]

I will be honest. I will say I never understand why some people would lump New Jersey and Connecticut into NYC when its 2 different states.

[@jhartigan82]

@Latoya Jones its very simple...there is NYC...and NYC metro......the latter overflows into 3 states....The commute time from NJ neighborhoods along the hudson to manhattan are similiar to other boroughs depending on where you live! Same thing with conneticut although to a lesser extent!

[@angelteamnolimit624]

Josh Hartigan someone with sense that dum ass girl was a idiot

[@bklynslipnjimmy]

Because its the tri state genius

[@lovejones0686]

[@janicefredericks3038]

My family has been in Weehawken since the 1860s. I have never considered myself living in the 6th borough of NYC.

[@lollipopcorndog]

Weehawken is still pricy because squatters (settlers) try to beat the system by avoiding cost of living in New York Boroughs but commute to the city every day. On the bright side, it’s like an in between of everything. It’s cheaper if you have a roommate or two and either work two jobs or one good job.

[@jasonvizcarra709]

If you can afford to live in weehawken

According to United Van Lines, New Jersey is the state most people are moving away from in 2018. I plan on moving out soon too. My big reason is the high outrageous taxes. NYC must really be bad if you think any part of Jersey is better.

Sold our Brownstone, and moved down there to Maryland; what a difference. 10 years ago (probably worse now) our property taxes were close to 8K a years... here, our two acres property taxes next to the Chesapeake Bay are only 2K.
