Hoboken is 'Most Exciting' Place in NJ, Real Estate Site Says

The Mile Square City lauded for its nightlife, arts and entertainment, parks and limited number of fast-food restaurants.

Hoboken's hopping nightlife, annual music and film festivals, parks, historical landmarks and limited amount of fast-food joints make the Mile Square City the most happening spot in the state, according to a real estate website.

Hoboken topped Movoto's list of "10 Most Exciting Places in New Jersey" released on Tuesday.

Movoto ranked the 50 most-populated places in New Jersey based on nightlife, live music venues, active life options, arts and entertainment, number of fast food restaurants, percentage of restaurants that are not fast food, percentage of residents between the ages of 18 and 34 and the population density.

According to Movoto, the city has a "fair number of non-fast food restaurants" and "when you factor in that the city has places like The Cuban Restaurant And Bar, it becomes obvious that this place not only has quantity, it also has quality."

While Hoboken's place atop the list may not be surprising, some of the others in the top-10 may be a bit shocking:

1. Hoboken
2. Palisades Park
3. Long Branch
4. Atlantic City
5. Trenton
6. New Brunswick
7. Hackensack
8. Clifton
9. Union City
10. Jersey City
