Cozy 1BR Condo, Near NYC Mall & MetLife - North Bergen

“An easy, comfortable home base for four—with simple self check-in, room to unwind, and great local food just beyond the front door.”

🏡 What Makes This Home Stand Out

• Comfortable one-bedroom condo for up to 4 guests
• Private bedroom plus a pullout sofa in the living room
• Full kitchen for breakfasts, snacks, and relaxed meals at home
• Wi-Fi, TV, window air conditioning, and heat
• Convenient self check-in with a secure lockbox
• A few blocks from Braddock Park and Boulevard East
• Easy access to neighborhood restaurants, bakeries, shops, and NYC-bound transportation
• More privacy, flexibility, and living space than a standard hotel room

At approximately 500 square feet, the home is compact but thoughtfully arranged. It works especially well for couples, small families, business travelers, and close-knit groups who want to stay together without paying for multiple hotel rooms.

🚆 Airport & NYC Proximity

This location gives you a practical balance between Manhattan access and a more residential neighborhood experience.

• Newark Liberty International Airport: approximately 25–40 minutes by car or Uber in typical traffic; allow additional time during weekday rush hours
• Midtown Manhattan by bus: walk approximately four blocks to the Boulevard East area and take the NJ Transit 128 toward Port Authority
• Bus travel time: the scheduled ride is often around 30–35 minutes; we recommend budgeting approximately 40–60 minutes door to door
• Midtown by car or Uber: approximately 25–40 minutes during lighter traffic and 45–75 minutes during busy periods
• Light rail and train connections: Bergenline Avenue Light Rail Station is approximately 10–15 minutes away by rideshare, with connections toward Hoboken, Jersey City, and PATH service into Lower Manhattan

Traffic around the Lincoln Tunnel can change quickly, so checking live directions before leaving is always the best local shortcut.

🛌 Bedrooms

Private bedroom
• One full-size bed
• Fresh bed linens
• Window air-conditioning unit
• Private sleeping space away from the main living area

Additional sleeping space
• Pullout sofa in the living room for up to 2 guests

The setup is best suited to a couple, a small family, or a group comfortable sharing two sleeping areas.

🛋️ Living / Lounge Areas

The living room gives your group a comfortable place to relax after a day in Manhattan, catch up over coffee, or plan the next day’s adventures.

The pullout sofa provides flexible sleeping space, while the TV and Wi-Fi make it easy to enjoy a quiet evening at home. Unlike a traditional hotel room, guests have separate sleeping and lounging areas instead of everyone gathering around one bed.

🍽️ Kitchen & Dining

The kitchen is equipped for simple meals and everyday convenience, including:

• Refrigerator
• Gas range and oven
• Microwave
• Coffee maker
• Dishes, glassware, and silverware
• Pots, pans, and basic cooking utensils
• Cooking basics such as oil, salt, and pepper

Pick up ingredients from Bergenline Avenue, make breakfast before heading into NYC, or reheat leftovers from one of the neighborhood’s excellent restaurants.

🛁 Bathrooms

The home has one private full bathroom stocked with:

• Fresh towels
• Hot water
• Shampoo and body soap
• Hair dryer
• Starter toilet-paper supply

🍴 Local Food & Coffee

One of the best parts of staying here is the food. Bergenline Avenue is known for independent restaurants, bakeries, and cuisines from across Latin America, Italy, and beyond.

Gandolfo’s Pizzeria
A convenient neighborhood choice for pizza, pasta, and an easy meal after arrival.

Trattoria La Sorrentina
A family-operated Italian favorite known for brick-oven pizza, seafood, and relaxed neighborhood service.

Gallo Nero
A polished but welcoming option for Italian dishes, lunch, dinner, or a slower evening out.

Harry’s Food and Drink
Located across from Braddock Park, with shareable plates, sandwiches, pasta, and a neighborhood gastropub atmosphere.

Fenix Bakery III
A handy stop for pastries, coffee, and something sweet before a morning in the city.

🏙️ Neighborhood

The home sits in a residential, culturally diverse part of North Bergen near parks, local businesses, and the active Bergenline Avenue corridor. Expect a lived-in city neighborhood rather than a tourist district: families heading to the park, neighbors running errands, and plenty of independent food spots nearby.

James J. Braddock Park and the Boulevard East skyline overlooks give the area a family-friendly, outdoorsy side. As in any urban neighborhood, we recommend normal city awareness when walking late at night and checking your route before heading out.

🚆 Getting Around

Most guests visiting Manhattan find the direct bus and rideshare options easier than driving into NYC. The NJ Transit 128 serves the Boulevard East corridor and travels directly to Port Authority near Times Square.

A car can be useful for exploring New Jersey, but there is no on-site parking and nearby street parking can be limited. Guests arriving without a car will generally have the simplest experience.

For Hoboken, Jersey City, and Lower Manhattan, a short rideshare to Bergenline Avenue Light Rail Station provides another useful option.

🔐 Safety, Parking & Convenience

• Secure self check-in with a lockbox
• Smoke detector installed
• Exterior cameras monitor the building perimeter and record video and audio; there are no cameras inside the apartment
• No on-site or reserved parking
• Street parking is limited, first-come first-served, and subject to posted restrictions
• Quiet hours are 10:00 PM–9:00 AM
• No parties, events, or smoking
• Maximum occupancy is 4 guests

This is a ground-level condo in an established residential building. Guests may occasionally hear neighbors or foot traffic near the building entrance and shared areas.

The building’s winter heating is centrally controlled and can sometimes make the apartment feel warm. Window air-conditioning units are provided for warmer weather.
