Everyone loves Hoboken and it really is the best and closest place to live and be near NYC.  But not everyone can afford Hoboken these days and people don't fully realize that they have other options as far as living in Hudson County and still being close to NYC and Hoboken.   Secaucus is one of these options (Union City, West New York, Weehawken, etc.) and used to be considered one of Hudson County's best kept secrets (it's only about 4 miles away from NYC).  Years ago when Hoboken wasn't so great, a lot of Hoboken residents actually moved to Secuacus.   Anyway, there has been a lot of news lately on the growth of Secaucus, so please click on below link to see article in NYT to learn more about this.
