The Waterfront Community

The Hudson County Waterfront is the birthplace of American commerce. Starting when Henry Hudson arrived at New York Harbor; the Dutch set up trading posts at Manhattan and pig farms in what is today the Meadowlands. In recent years the spectacular views of the New York City skyline across the Hudson River – along with equally compelling tax advantages – inspired top financial services institutions to create Wall Street West in Jersey City – by itself the 8th largest downtown area in the country.

Minutes from Manhattan by bridge, tunnel, train and ferry, the Waterfront region also offers the most convenient ferry service to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from Liberty State Park, which also is home to the world-renowned Liberty Science Center. Both Newark Liberty Airport and Teterboro Airport service the region accessible from an awesome highway network.

There is always a full calendar of world class spectacular events on the Waterfront and its adjacent region, the Meadowlands. The Meadowlands Sports Complex, the leading multi-venue sports destination in the world hosts the NY Giants, NY Jets, NJ Nets, NJ Devils, and professional horse racing. The Hackensack River estuary extends from the Sports Complex to the Hudson River, boasting multiple viewing areas of the east coast's 2nd largest bird sanctuary, and presents a variety of outstanding eco-tourism activities.

And don’t miss a chance to take advantage of the incredible bargains, the outlets, or the tax-free clothing.

The region’s cultural diversity is reflected in the wonderful array of ethnic cuisine, museums, attractions, entertainment, houses of worship and educational institutions.
