Suburban commuter town of Secaucus
Secaucus, often hailed as "The Jewel of the Meadowlands,” holds a prominent position among North Jersey’s commuter towns, notable for its Secaucus Junction rail hub. Situated along the Hackensack River, its suburban atmosphere offers a peaceful contrast to neighboring urban centers. With access to Interstate 95 and proximity to the Lincoln Tunnel, Secaucus presents a mix of urban convenience with a quieter home base. Realtor and local native, Corey Jones of Coldwell Banker says, “Secaucus is tucked in between the Manhattan scene and the Meadowlands, where you find MetLife Stadium and American Dream, the primary dining, entertainment and hotel scene outside of the Meadowlands area.” Locals here can enjoy a more low-key suburban lifestyle while being near the array of attractions and urban amenities of New York City and North Jersey.

Secaucus offers a range of housing options, from two-bedroom condos and duplexes to three-to-four-bedroom homes, featuring diverse architectural styles such as townhouses, ranch styles and colonials. “Secaucus is not a very large town, and housing inventory tends to not be very available,” Jones says. Home prices remain competitive, starting around $300,000 and climbing over $1 million for single-family properties. The median home price of $500,000 is well below the county average and other nearby urban centers, such as Jersey City.
