Secaucus - Minutes from Manhattan near the Hudson River Gold Coast

Before the 1950s, Secaucus was once home to a number of pig farms, rendering plants, and junk yards, which gave the town a reputation for being one of the most odorous in the New York metropolitan area. However, gentrification and extensive redevelopment has improve the town's image and the pig farms and rendering plants and junk yards are now long gone. Secaucus is now an integral part of the Hudson River Gold Coast and the whole Meadowlands development area.

Secaucus is:

In the midst of a continuing development boom anchored by new or planned residential (condo and townhouse), commercial, retail shopping and entertainment developments. Plus, Secaucus benefits greatly from the tremendous development in the Meadowlands directly to the west of Secaucus.

Surrounded by the Meadowlands and on the west by the Hackensack River and on the east by the NJ Turnpike Lincoln Tunnel Extension. Secaucus is located astride Route 3 a few miles from the Hudson River and Manhattan.

and, has an exceptionally good road and commuter rail connections. The town is divided into half by the intersecting roads of NJ 3, which runs east and west, and the eastern spur of the New Jersey Turnpike, which runs north-south, with an interchange (16E/17) at NJ Route 3 and a new interchange 15X near the Secaucus Junction. In addition. Secaucus is directly accessible from the New Jersey Turnpike from either Exit 16West or 16East.

Secaucus has two major condo and townhouse developments - Harmon Cove and Riverside Court - both on the west side on the town directly on the Hackensack River. The majority of the remaining housing inventory is predominately single family homes with some mid-rise older condo developments.

The town is know for its quiet, family atmosphere as compared to the more dense urban-type Gold Coast towns to the east like Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, West New York, Union City, Guttenberg, Cliffside Park, and Edgewater. Secaucus is also known for the extensive shopping (both retail and outlet), dining and multiple entertainment complexes it has.
