Kearny
Kearny retains a strong community identity rooted in its Scottish heritage. Neighborhoods offer two- and three-family homes, apartments, and newer single-family builds. Riverfront parks and retail along Kearny Avenue provide local amenities. Housing is generally more affordable than in waterfront Hudson towns. Its location between Newark and Jersey City makes commuting convenient while preserving a small-city feel. Sports fields and local festivals reinforce civic pride.
Schools
Kearny School District features multiple neighborhood elementary schools and Kearny High with AP, honors, and performing arts programs.
Commute to NYC
NJ Transit buses run directly to Port Authority in about 30–45 minutes, and nearby Secaucus Junction offers rail to New York Penn Station in roughly 25–35 minutes.
