Getting into Manhattan
The quickest car-free route is the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail: walk 5 minutes to MLK Drive (or 7 to Garfield Ave), ride toward Exchange Place or Hoboken, and switch to PATH trains into Lower Manhattan or Midtown. Guests reach the World Trade Center in about half an hour. Driving, Lower Manhattan is 20–25 minutes and Midtown 25–35 minutes, depending on tunnel traffic.
Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island from New Jersey
Liberty State Park is 9 minutes away by car. Ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island leave from the park, a popular alternative to the Battery Park departures in Manhattan. The park also has Liberty Science Center, waterfront paths and some of the best skyline views in the area.
MetLife Stadium, American Dream & game days
MetLife Stadium (Giants, Jets and the biggest stadium concerts) is about 23 minutes by car, as is the American Dream mall with its indoor water park and theme park. Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, home of the NY Red Bulls, is about 10 minutes. With room for up to 11 per home, it's easy to bring the whole crew.
Flying into Newark (EWR)
Newark Liberty International Airport is about 15 minutes by car, so the homes work well for early flights, late arrivals and layovers with the family.
Around the neighborhood
Arlington Park is about a 5-minute walk. There's a convenience store around the corner, and a supermarket and pizzeria within walking distance. Exchange Place, with its waterfront promenade and classic NYC skyline views, is 15 minutes by car.
