About Weehawken
Weehawken is a township on the Palisades and the Hudson waterfront directly opposite Midtown Manhattan, containing the Lincoln Tunnel approach, the Port Imperial ferry/rail hub, the Hamilton Park neighborhood and the historic site of the Hamilton–Burr duel (per njtgo.com town page, read September 24, 2026). It is one of Hudson County's priciest towns — a mix of luxury waterfront towers, historic brownstones, and mid-rise apartments with arguably the finest Midtown skyline views in New Jersey (shown in the Commons photo below).
