"A very nice place to live."

The houses on this street are amazing. Very high dollar homes and nice little restaraunts there as well. I enjoyed it. I would have to say that these homes on this street are probably the best you can get in this town. They do seem very pricey but I think the money would be worth it. Not too much nighlife though. So if you are looking to party..you might want to go somewhere else.

"A neat place."

I went there with a friend back in 06 and i enjoyed it for the little time i was there. We went to Lady Jane’s and it was very relaxing there and good drinks too! Kind of pricey though..compared to what i am used to paying. It is also a nice place with alot of stuff to see. Parks and a museum..very interesting. I would recommend to go to the museum..i cannot remember what it is called but it was fun/!!

"A different place."

This is a unique and different place. I would not live here personally. But i think it is ideal for couples to go on a romantic walk and dine in at the local diners around there.I really dont have much to say about this street. It seems almost like a "forgettable" road to me..

"Not far from NY"

This would be a great place to live if you commute back and forth to NY. I wouldnt personally live in this particular area just because although there are small businesses and large traffic..it to me is too quiet when it comes to communicating with the neighbors. It seems to me on this particular street that these people are too busy to make friends. Although the houses are very beautiful and scenic..i wouldnt live here.

"Nice waterfront view."

This street is very eventful. I enjoyed it. It has an amazing waterfront view. Very nice. I wouldnt mind living there as well. There arent too many restaurants or shops around. There are some but not a whole lot in my book. I would say the waterfront is good enough for this area of Hoboken.

"A calm quiet place."

I enjoyed visiting a few shops here. It is very quiet and nice people. The accent there is very strong i noticed. But other than that..a friend and I went to a few places to shop and then enjoyed a nice little dinner at a small restaurant close by. I would say it is a nice place to reside at as well. I enjoyed it!

"New York City Skyline."

I would have to say this is the best place to see New York city skyline. I have a friend that has a flat out there and we drove to see the skyline without having to take a trip to NY. Very nice place to live as well. I enjoyed it very much so and I would consider living there also.

"A busy Place."

This particular street is a little different than what I like. On top of that it is a very dirty place. I would consider applying for a job there but other than that it is not a very "dreamy" place to call home. But im sure there is good money on the block with all the businesses.

"The College Town."

I would say that it is a nice place to live if you are a college student. It is filled with college kids because of the local college. There are plenty of things to do there also. It isnt a very clean place though. It could use some cleaning up in the area but other than that..the people are friendly.

"Shopping and dining is recommended"

I STRONGLY recommend to go with 200dollars and shop for a couple hours. there are also plenty of dining as well. They have alot of different things there. To be honest with you i would say it was one of the most unique shopping experiences that i have had. Very friendly and attentive people in the shops and restaruants as well. I would definelty recommend to go and see it for yourself.

I have been shopping here a couple times. The traffic is kinda bad butshopping there is actually not too bad. I enjoyed it while I was there. I had lunch at a great little cafe. I wouldnt live there just because of the traffic. to close to the city. but I would recommend to go shopping and have lunch there.

"I couldnt see anyone living there."

I went there one time to enjoy a drink at one of the local bars and it was fun. The people there were nice..but to me it was like a college "town" street. Loud people in the roads and loud live music from the bars. I honestly do not see how anyone could buy a house in that area. But if you are young and looking for a fun time..it is a good place to be.

"Not too much going on here."

There really isnt anything very interesting on this road. It is pretty off by itself. Nonetheless, i would say it is an easy target for kids to run loose and/or tag up the place. I didnt find it very clean either. Trash on the side of the road..a few teenagers were walking down it when i was passing through..but it isnt a TERRIBLE neighborhood..it just needs to be cleaned up.

"Not in a million years.."

I wouldnt live here. Although there is alot of space that could be occupied there but none the less..it is not a very "homey" place to live. I would say it is more for veterans of the military. The houses on this street are far and few between really..and needless to say. they arent very nice.

"I liked it."

I went to a birthday party there and it was nice. The neighbors sit on their front porch FREQUENTLY. It seems like a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone. I wouldn't mind living there. They all seem friendly and quiet. There are a couple nice little restaurants there. I havent personally eaten at them but i have had people mention them to me and it was a nice review.

"Nice place to have lunch."

This street is an overall nice place to visit as well as live. But I am more for the visiting there for lunch, they have a couple nice coffeehouses that have really good sandwhiches and the coffee isnt half bad. To me I would almost consider it a college street. A street where the locals would come and gather for lunch..Im sure the prices for the apartments arent very pricey either.

"Not my style."

The neighborhood itself is alot older looking..it is well kept though. I am more for the new suburbian look. They do have some nice restaraunts there though. The homes to me look like they are out of an older city in Europe though. They are nice do not get me wrong..but they are just not my style..

"Nice and Simply Beautiful."

I have driven through there only a couple times but the houses on the street are BEAUTIFUL. They look really pricey but the streets are kept clean and the yards as well. I did notice when I drove by that there were hardly any childrens bikes or scooters out front and from what I have been told there are no school buses that run through that neighborhood. But I would definetly live there if I was able to afford it!

"I would consider living there with a family."

I had a girlfriend that lived there for about 5 years. I would visit time to time. She always complained of the neighborhood children that would ride their bikes in and out of their yard. She also said the parents of some of the children would let them walk up and down the street. But for the most part it was safe and the people were very friendly on that street.
