Vibrant neighborhoods, plentiful cafes and restaurants, shops, scenic parks, and an abundance of entertainment options are only a few of the reasons why so many choose to call Bayonne, New Jersey home.
Often referred to as “Peninsula City”, Bayonne is ideally situated on a 3-mile peninsula south of Jersey City and across from the northern part of Staten Island in Hudson County, NJ. The modest town of approximately 65,000 residents offers the best of both worlds with convenient access to New York City as well as a peaceful community separated from the hustle and bustle of big city life.
From the beautiful Bayonne Bridge, which is one of the longest arched steel bridges in the world, and its great parks, to its great riverfront, Bayonne has it all.
Bayonne holds a special place in my heart. I made my first ever sale in Bayonne. The reason my clients chose Bayonne was that was less pricey than its nearby cities making it very attractive to those that want more for their money.
