    Set on Raritan Bay, South Amboy’s 08879 mixes small-town waterfront charm with commuter convenience. Residents stroll the Raritan Bay Waterfront Park promenade and fishing pier, catch breezy sunsets, and enjoy four distinct seasons; it’s an easy-to-love, family- and pet-friendly scene with quiet residential blocks near a modest downtown on Broadway. You’ll find neighborhood coffee spots and pizzerias, casual pubs, and global eats, plus grocery stores, local gyms, and yoga studios along Routes 9 and 35; bigger shopping runs are a short drive to Woodbridge Center and Menlo Park Mall. Outdoor time rules here—bike the bay path, cast a line, or kayak from the marina—while seasonal parades and waterfront events add community spirit. For commuters, NJ Transit’s South Amboy Station and the South Amboy ferry to Manhattan pair with quick Garden State Parkway access. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $2,600, with most apartments over the past few months listing roughly $2,100–$3,100, including new waterfront complexes and classic garden-style options.
