Situated on the western shore of the Hudson River, along the southern end of the New Jersey Palisades, and across from Midtown Manhattan, Weehawken is the location of the Lincoln Tunnel, making the commute into Manhattan easy.

Though small, Weehawken is very urban, with a population density that is among the highest in the United States and comparable with that of nearby Jersey City. Weehawken is a residential community of primarily one-family and two-family homes (many built during the Edwardian era) and low-rise apartment buildings.

Weehawken has a retail district along Park Avenue (its boundary with Union City) and large office and apartment/townhouse developments along the Hudson River. A few scattered retail shops and light manufacturing facilities blend into their respective neighborhoods. Local zoning laws prohibit the construction of high-rise buildings that would obstruct sight-lines from higher points in town.  The sales associates at De Ruggiero Realtors have access to all Weehawken apartment rentals and homes for sale.  The main De Ruggiero real estate office is just a few blocks from the Weehawken border.
