Chickentown Homes for Sale

In the bayside city of Perth Amboy, Chickentown is home to walkable streets and the city’s largest park, just west of Convery Boulevard. Less than 2 miles from the city center, the neighborhood is within minutes of the waterside parks of the Raritan River and the local businesses of downtown. Additionally, historic architecture is found throughout Downtown Perth Amboy, including the oldest City Hall in continuous use in the country, which dates back to 1717. “Chickentown is a large and diverse community,” says Muhammad Limene, owner of All Brands Furniture, which has been a neighborhood staple for over 17 years. “Every day I interact with people from a wide variety of backgrounds. It’s a very welcoming area and our diversity is seen in the range of cuisines and shops in town. We don’t plan on moving anytime soon.” The streets of Chickentown are lined with Cape Cods, bungalows, Colonial Revivals and workers cottages sitting close together on quaint lots. Most of the area’s houses were built between the 1920s and 1950s and have fenced-in back yards. “The southside of the community, away from the highway, has a quiet atmosphere,” Limene says.
