Why StuyTown Over Jersey City?

We know that living in Manhattan can be expensive, which is why commuting from Jersey City has become more and more popular recently. However, we believe that living in StuyTown has unique benefits over commuting—here are just a few things to consider before you make the move to Jersey City. 

Commute Time 

As they say, time is of the essence, and with life in StuyTown you don’t have to worry about time wasted on your commute. Our location in the heart of the East Village puts you at the nexus of NYC’s transit system, with the L, 4, 5, 6, N, R and Q trains lines steps away. For those who prefer alternate modes of transport, we’ve got multiple cross-town bus options and our very own CitiBike station on site. Don’t forget about the NYC Ferry, which stops at Stuyvesant Cove nearby.  With all this spare time, there’s room for more sleep, exploring Manhattan, relaxing at home and an overall improvement to your 5 to 9.  

Convenience 

Our beautiful 80 acres are a peaceful oasis, but step outside of our property and you’re in the hustle and bustle of the city. With that comes the convenience of having countless shopping, dining, and grocery options. When it comes to running errands, from grocery shopping and taking care of dry cleaning to veterinary visits and shipping out packages, the East Village has you covered with countless options within walking distance. If you’re looking for dinner or happy hour options, there’s no shortage of those, either. You can’t beat the convenience of the East Village. 

New York Culture 

When you commute into the city for work, it can feel difficult to connect to the culture of NYC. Living at StuyTown gives residents the opportunity to dive into the culture and feel like a true New Yorker. Want to check out a show, museum, or new bar after work? When you live in StuyTown, it’s no hassle at all. Opportunities to immerse yourself in the arts and culture of the city are available to you, day or night.   

Social Life 

With a population of 1.63 million, Manhattan has countless opportunities to meet new friends, network, or date. Living at StuyTown allows you to continue building on work connections at happy hours, meet up with someone from Bumble for dinner after work, or check out one of the many daily events going on in Manhattan without considering time or your commute. After all, it's all happening right in your neighborhood, steps away from home.
