Bayonne started as a port, but is evolving with new industries
Jutting out into the Upper Bay, the neighborhood of Bayonne is a unique extension of the Jersey City region. Due to its strategic location, it became a port for trade between America and Europe, and it still maintains docks and ships along the water. There’s a strong sense that Bayonne wants to move into the entertainment economy, too: in May 2024, the state’s Economic Development Authority approved a $1 billion project that will bring a television and movie studio complex to a former oil refinery site. “They have been doing a lot of development on Bayonne’s waterfront,” says Westley Page, sales associate with Brown Harris Stevens. “Next they’re working on putting in a ferry to Manhattan. Already it’s a popular place due to more competitive prices, compared to Downtown Jersey City.” Filled with views and recently added retail amenities, Bayonne is a neighborhood that appeals to those who want to be surrounded by a sense of growth.
Colonial styles beginning in the high $400,000s
Bayonne’s residential area is laid out like a grid, stretching from 58th Street on the east end over to 32nd Street. Visually, there’s a strong colonial element to housing styles here, with sharply gabled roofs and covered front porches. Befitting Bayonne’s location on the water, there are coastal touches like cedar shingle siding. Color palettes create a soothing environment– slate blues, tans, light greys and yellows. Brick accents are common, too, whether on stoops or entire lower levels, adding an eclectic look to Bayonne. Prices range from the high $400,000s to the high $800,000s. Homes at the early end of that range, it’s possible to see vinyl colonial homes with three bedrooms, situated on a tree-lined street and a concrete pad that allows space to park a car. But homebuyers are likely to see brick four-bedroom colonials with lawns, hedges and detached garages when approaching the $800,000 mark. The neighborhood’s crime score on the CAP Index is 3 out of 10.
Broadway Diner is open 24/7
While there are a few eateries along Avenue C, the bulk of them are clustered along Broadway Avenue, where the choices are decidedly cosmopolitan. Dominican restaurants appear often, but there’s Mexican, Spanish and Lebanese cuisine, too. Pizza places, cafes and bars provide several lowkey, casual options. Broadway Diner feels like a classic New Jersey experience, with its leather booths and 24/7 schedule. There’s another side to Bayonne, too, with larger outlets sharing the spotlight. “You’re starting to see more chains opening up there, but sporadically, like poke bowl places,” says Tamayo Oppenheimer, Realtor with Silver and Oak Realty, referring to a dish of diced raw fish usually tossed with a sauce and vegetables. “You’ll also encounter well-known names like Lowe’s and Costco. Generally, once you get into Bayonne, the stores become bigger.” Other places to pick up groceries include Shop Rite, Lidl and the Aqui Market located at the end of Broadway in the Twin City Shopping Center, across from Walgreens.
St. Patrick's Day brings a big parade
The annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade brings out residents with Irish dancing and corned beef sandwiches. Music on Broadway occurs in May, where pop up concerts are held along Bayonne’s restaurant row. Warmer weather also brings events like the Bayonne Food Truck Fest, which features live music, a beer garden and activities for kids. The Bayonne Farmers Market is open every Tuesday afternoon starting in the spring, on Avenue C.
Bayonne High School is home to the Fighting Bees of Constable Hook.
A rare ice rink at Bayonne High
Students can begin their education at Washington Community School, which covers kindergarten through 8th grade. The student-teacher ratio is 11-to-1, and the school earns a B-minus rating from Niche. Built in 1936, Bayonne High has a monumental brick and stone façade. It earns a B rating, and has several unique amenities, like an ice rink for hockey – the only one to be featured in a New Jersey high school. The school has also been the site for several music videos. Down the street from Bayonne High is one of the neighborhood’s most notable pieces of architecture, the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church: with over 40 stained glass windows made in Dublin, this granite building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is an active parish.
Gregg Park features places to fish and stroll
Park space in Bayonne is concentrated on the north side, facing Newark Bay. Most of this area is taken up by Gregg Park, which spreads across 100 acres. Many athletic facilities are available so that visitors can play basketball, pickleball, tennis and bocce. A bright blue running track adds another active element. Kids have access to a playground and, in the summer, a spray pad. Gregg Park is equally a place to lounge and relax – fishers will be seen casting their lines into the bay. Perhaps one of the most popular uses is taking a stroll on the paved paths, enjoying the ornate stone structures that offer shade and a place to catch one’s breath.
Commuters like the light rail station on 45th Street
Bayonne’s light rail station on 45th Street is often mentioned as a prime amenity for commuters. But with Route 44o and Interstate 78 wrapping around the neighborhood, drivers have direct access to key routes. The former leads to the Bayonne Bridge, while the latter takes drivers to Central Park in about an hour. Within the neighborhood itself, buses along Avenue C ensure that commercial corridors can be explored via public transportation.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
