    "The neighborhood is very versatile. Different cultures reside amongst the neighborhood and call it home. Many neighbors keep to themselves while others do interact with you and make small talk. Great place to raise children."

    "The bus is really accessible and easy to navigate. The path is a bit harder to get to but overall the commute to north Hoboken and downtown are easy enough. Having a car helps, but parking can be a bit of a challenge. The heights is super walkable and most things that you need are within a walking distance. "

    "The Hutton has the Guinness and Oyster festival every June. There’s a farmers market in RiverView Park every Sunday in the spring and summer. There’s sometimes live music in RiverView park as well. It is an up an coming neighborhood with easy access to Manhattan via public transportation or car. There’s great food trucks in RiverView park in the spring and summer time. Also the Heights has great local restaurants like The Hutton bar and Grill and Low Fidelity."
