Residential neighborhood close to shopping and dining
Part of Perth Amboy, a former resort town turned bustling city, Amboy Avenue is a largely residential neighborhood within walking distance of business hubs. The compact, gridded area mixes single- and multi-family homes with shops and restaurants. The city is also just 20 miles south of Manhattan, attracting working commuters with access to major thoroughfares and popular NJ Transit options. “Proximity to the city is very good, it’s just across the bridge from Staten Island,” says Corey Jones, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area since 2019.
Perth Amboy District provides an assortment of shopping choices mostly located on Amboy avenue.
The Outerbridge Crossing takes residents from Downtown Perth Amboy to Staten Island in New York and beyond.

National-style homes starting in the $400,000s
Homebuyers can find single- and multi-family colonials, national-style homes and Cape Cods from the early- to mid-1900s. A small number of older houses have been torn down in the last five years and contemporary styles have been built in their place. Some homes have small yards and driveways, but many residents rely on street parking for personal vehicles. Houses tend to stay on the market for about three weeks and usually sell for $400,000 to $600,000.

Shopping and Dining on Amboy Avenue
“Most of the dining and grocery shopping is central to the city and walkable for at least half of the city’s residents,” Jones says. While the biggest shopping and dining hub is downtown, Amboy Avenue has its own businesses. Daisy's Supermarket is a local grocer with fresh produce, packaged goods and a deli. There’s also ShopRite less than a mile west for bigger grocery runs. Popular local dining options include The Latin Grill for Peruvian dishes and Eden's Legacy with a mix of Latin and American favorites.
