Hoboken Ranked as One of the 10 Best Places to Live in New Jersey

A popular real estate blog has just named Hoboken among the top 10 places to live in New Jersey.

Movoto Real Estate listed the Mile Square as the 9th best place to live in the Garden State, citing it’s high home values and resident incomes among the top reasons to move to the historic Hudson County city.

“This may be known as the birthplace of baseball and the birthplace of the legendary Frank Sinatra, but these days, Hoboken is known to residents as just a great place to live,” Movoto Real Estate stated.

Movoto noted that on average, Hobokenites make about $101,782 a year – 34 percent more than residents anywhere else in the state. Home values are also 48 percent higher, the blog stated.

According to the blog post, Movoto utilized seven unique criteria to rank each of New Jersey’s most populous municipalities:

• • Amenities per person (pizza places, bagel shops, and diners / person)
• • Amenities total (total pizza places, bagel shops, and diners)
• • Cost of living (percent above or below state average)
• • Crime (percent above or below state average)
• • Education (high school degree attainment rate compared to state average)
• • Median Income (city’s average compared to state average)
• • Home value (percent above or below state average)
