Kathy Zucker and her family moved to South West Hoboken because they felt it closely replicated their lifestyle in Brooklyn Heights.
Every couple of months, I get an email from someone looking to raise a family in Hoboken. They always ask where families live. My sense is that most families live in northeast Hoboken, near Elysian Park. However, there are families all over Hoboken, and child activities are scattered all across town, from Romparoo (midtown) to Kidville (uptown) and Monroe Center (west side).

We are three minutes away by car from Target, Newport Mall, Morton Williams, BJs and—handsdown my favorite—the Jersey City A&P. Trader Joes and Mitsuwa Marketplace are 15 minutes away in Weehawken. It takes me an hour and a half door-to-door to complete my weekly shopping at Target and the A&P, and I calculated that I feed my family on $20 a day.
