523-525 34th, A6 Union City, NJ 07087

Stretching inland alongside Weehawken and Hoboken, Union City is one of the country’s most densely populated areas. This is a bustling metropolis—a far cry from a pastoral New York City suburb—and residents wouldn’t have it any other way. Though not directly on the river, Union City is still considered a part of the New Jersey Gold Coast, as it sits high on the ridge of the Palisades. And from the windows of a Union City home or while walking in one of its many parks, one can catch a glimpse of the mighty Hudson, the Manhattan skyline across the water, or the neighboring New Jersey cities below. It’s these views that have made Union City a favorite for generations, in a town where single-family houses are rare, instead, boasting plenty of multi-family houses, low-rise apartment buildings, and the occasional high-rise tower.
