Secaucus, NJ is so nice to come home to! 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I live in Secaucus, New Jersey. It's a great place to live! There's so much to do and see living in Secaucus. I love going to the Meadowlands Exposition Center. There's always an exhibition on the schedule, with plenty of free parking! Shopping in Secaucus is excellent. Many of t ...Read More he brand name clothing stores have outlets at the Harmon Cove outlet center.

There are many businesses and numerous corporate centers in Secaucus. In addition to that, it is just minutes from Manhattan, and the employment opportunities are very good. It's only a short drive on Route 3 to the Lincoln Tunnel into New York. Secaucus has so many good restaurants! I enjoy dinner and a movie at one of the multiplexes in town. The homes are not very large or fancy in Secaucus, as they are in many of the other parts of NJ. The community is close knit and the residents are upstanding. It is a very comfortable place to live!
