Weehawken
Manhattan views and waterfront living
Neighborhood Overview
Weehawken is a town that lives up to its postcard. Perched on the Palisades above the Hudson River, it offers some of the most dramatic Manhattan skyline views anywhere in New Jersey. The waterfront development has transformed the town into a desirable destination for those who want luxury living with unbeatable views.
The town is divided into distinct areas: the waterfront along the Hudson, featuring luxury condominiums and the NY Waterway ferry terminal; the uptown area with residential neighborhoods and local shops; and the hilltop section with more suburban-style homes. This variety means Weehawken can appeal to different lifestyles and budgets.
Weehawken is also known for its quiet, safe streets and tight-knit community feel, despite its proximity to the bustle of Manhattan. The town's park system, including the scenic Weehawken Waterfront Park, provides green space with stunning river views.

Getting to Manhattan
Weehawken has one of the best commutes in Northern New Jersey. The NY Waterway ferry from the Weehawken waterfront reaches Midtown Manhattan (West 39th Street) in approximately 10 minutes, making it one of the fastest and most scenic commutes available. Note that ferry fares saw a roughly 5.5% increase in May 2026 due to a temporary fuel surcharge.
NJ Transit buses also provide direct service to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and the town's proximity to the Lincoln Tunnel makes driving a convenient option, particularly during off-peak hours.
