West New York
West New York packs a lively, walkable urban grid atop the Palisades and along the Hudson waterfront. Boulevard East provides sweeping skyline views and a green promenade, while Bergenline Avenue is a retail and dining corridor with strong Latin American influences. Housing includes mid-rise co-ops and condos, prewar walk-ups, and newer waterfront towers. Residents value the convenience, cultural vibrancy, and abundant transit to Manhattan and Jersey City. Local parks, community events, and waterfront paths provide outdoor space in the dense environment. The town's mix of affordability and accessibility keeps it a popular Hudson County choice.
Schools
The West New York School District operates neighborhood PreK–8 schools and Memorial High School, offering AP/honors courses and extracurriculars.
Commute to NYC
NJ Transit buses and jitneys along Boulevard East and Bergenline Avenue reach Port Authority in about 20–35 minutes, and nearby Port Imperial ferries cross to Midtown or Downtown in roughly 12–18 minutes.
