Mix of housing options near the water
Located along the Arthur Kill tidal strait in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, State Street offers a mix of housing options close to recreation and restaurants. This former resort town is about 30 miles from New York City and appeals to working commuters. While single- and multi-family homes make up nearly a quarter of the neighborhood’s property mix, more than 80% of the community rents rather than owns. “The local investor market is very attractive because it’s such a strong rental market,” says Corey Jones, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area since 2019. Currently, over 1 million square feet of warehouse space is being constructed on former industrial zoning along the waterfront. Dubbed “BridgePort II,” city officials say the 73-acre site will create around 1,500 permanent jobs.
Colonial-style homes starting in the $300,000s
Homebuyers can find colonial and national-style homes from the late-1800s and early-1900s. Houses here are packed tightly together with minimal front and backyards. Some homes have driveways on the side of the property, but other residents rely on street parking. Single-family houses typically sell for $300,000 to $500,000, while multi-family homes usually go for $500,000 to $700,000. There are also several apartment and condo complexes with one- to four-bedroom units that sell for $225,000 to $475,000.
