Love my town! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 11, 2020) This town is a Hispanic community, I grew up here and it's home. We celebrate diversity within our LatinX community, yes we can be loud at times but every culture comes with their own kinks but it is what it is. We are overpopulated, so parking is a pain, but that's something the ...Read More town has been trying to fix and hopefully turn our one-floor parking areas into a 3-4 story complex. Our food is the best, no questions asked...:) stores, food, everything is within walking distances. Store prices are affordable but the cost of living is increasing by the minute..:/ Read Less

Party time in West New York 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Oct 06, 2019) This town sucks. Every Sunday they close all streets and run a cacophonous parade down the main avenue, with insanely loud music interspersed with shouts of Colombia! Venezuela! Guatemala! Honduras! and on and on down the same list many times. The parades probably bring in revenu ...Read More e from advertisers, but they are an enormous nuisance to residents. If you like your Sundays loud, with walls shaking and car alarms going off, live in West New York. Read Less

West New York close to Blvd east is an amazing place to live 5 rating By Tonih ( Mar 27, 2016) I live a half a block from Blvd east and it's an amazing place to live. The views of Manhattan are panoramic and beautiful. It's quiet and urban at the same time. I have a beautiful 4 story home there and it takes me 5 min to get to midtown Manhattan . If you go further into west ...Read More New York away from Blvd east it is not as nice but that is because it is filled with a lot of renters, not home owners, and many people living under the radar. West New York is a gem on the Blvd east side and a diamond in the rough on the bergelineline avenue side. The market is hot on the Blvd east side and as these homes are bought up by those out priced out manhattan and Brooklyn then over the next few years the bowels of west New York will be developed into gems and these homeowners will get rid of the current local administration that holds up the spread of progress in a town that is one of the closest pieces of Realestate to Manhattan.

BAD CITY Stay Away 0.5 rating By Dunboyne ( Nov 25, 2014) Moved to West NY 7 years back, had my car broken into 6 times, they issue parking tickets even when you have a parking pass on your car as it takes full day to fight and most people pay. Very little street parking available. Loud music every day & night, people yelling, drunks ...Read More everywhere DO NOT MOVE HERE, cops seem to have deals with some businesses and harass others, DO NOT MOVE HERE!

condensed city where drunks and cops rule the night. 0.5 rating By johndamianrivera ( Jun 11, 2013) Please, unless you are bilingual or spanish is your first language, DO NOT MOVE HERE! You NEED to be able to speak spanish to get a decent job around the area. You will most likely never get a good night's rest due to all of the parties, police sirens and impatient drivers honki ...Read More ng their horns at all hours of the night. Don't be caught walking around at night, not only are all of the cops suspicious of everyone, but the perverted drunks will make passes at anything that moves. West New York is NJ's most overpopulated city. The only perk is the skyline, you can see all of NYC, worth the visit, please don't stay. Read Less

West New York, NJ - We're Not in New York! 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 22, 2012) I moved to West New York, New Jersey from Flemington, NJ at age 18. While I recently moved, I remain in touch with family and friends who still live in West New York.

West New York is an extremely crowded city where unless you live on the Hudson River side of Boulevard East (JFK ...Read More Blvd. East) you lived packed liked sardines in apartment buildings. We laughed at the Census Bureau's population estimates because we all knew of apartments which had two or three families living in them and only one family was legal and therefore counted in the Census estimates. If you lived in a riverfront apartment, West New York was an entirely different city, uncrowded and really nice. While it was more expensive to live in a riverfront apartment, all of West New York is a fairly expensive place to live.

Shopping in West New York is great if you go to the Miracle Mile where every chain store is represented because they can charge less sales tax there. You'll want to do all your shopping during the daytime though, the streets get very dark and lonely after the sun sets. Crime is not a major problem in West New York but, like all cities, there are places you should avoid after dark.

If you are a fan of Spanish food, you'll be in heaven in West New York; the food is fabulous. Being one of the very few non-Hispanic residents was never a problem for me, all you have to do is learn a few words of Spanish as almost everyone under 20 years old also spoke English. My recommendation is to learn to say hello, thank you, "Can I help you carry that?" and "This is delicious" and your neighbors will be your friends for life.

One frustrating think about living in West New York, NJ was that no one you talked to in other states seemed to understand that we were not a part of New York City. I ended up telling people I lived next to Weehawken; that they seemed to understand. Just remember, we're not in New York! Read Less
