Boston Highlights

Located less than 20 miles from Central Park, Bayonne is one of New Jersey&#39;s unsung heroes. Nestled alongside the Hudson River, it is a charming city with a rich industrial history, famed for its picturesque views of Manhattan and ample green spaces. Because of this, along with the above-par public school system and proximity to NYC, Bayonne attracts a lot of young families, and there are plenty of cafes, bookshops, sports facilities, walking paths, and waterfront areas for relaxation and leisure activities. The city has a plethora of historical landmarks, such as the Robbins Reef Lighthouse, which has guided ships through the harbor for over a century, and Bayonne Bridge, connecting to Staten Island, stands as an engineering marvel. While it may still be transitioning from its industrial past, Bayonne maintains a close-knit atmosphere, making it a unique and evolving urban enclave in the Garden State.
