Riverside Court in Secaucus (Lyndhurst, Rutherford: for sale, real estate market, renting)

[HitTheLights]

My wife and I recently moved to NJ and are renting in the JC/Newport area while we explore the real estate market here, and are currently favorable towards Secaucus, specifically the Riverside Court community.

Can anyone share any knowledge on this development as well as the town of Secaucus? Specifically:

1. Commute to Midtown (I have heard there are 11 express buses that stop at Riverside...which numbers are these? Also, what are the options via train, and what is the difference between Secaucus Junction and Allied Junction train stations?

2. Gym/fitness centers in the area

3. Shopping/grocery (we have seen the malls and outlets, so I figure there is plenty available), and any other info that may be helpful.

Thanks for the input!

Lifelong Secaucus resident here.

I can't help you with the commute, as I work in town, but I can help with your other two questions.

There is a gym in the area called Atlantic Health and Fitness, which I am a member of. I've been there a while and pay $40 a month. My friend went there to try to get a membership and they said current rates are $60 a month. These rates are negotiable.

There is a LA Boxing Studio on Meadowlands Parkway just a block from that community you're talkin about. They are still open today, but the place is listed for sale, so not sure how long it'll be there for. There are other gyms in surrounding towns, it depends on what you want. There's a simple gym, the kind with older equipment filled with juiceheads, in East Rutherford called Strong and Shapely. Good prices....There are fancier places around with pools and stuff like that, especially in Bergen County.

For grocery shopping, there is a Stop n Shop in the (currently being re-built) Mill Creek Mall on Route 3. There is also a farmers market in the Plaza center of town next to the CVS that just opened. Walmart and Sams Club are in town as well. My family prefers going to the Shop Rite in Lyndhurst as the prices are better, cleaner, etc.

Hope that helps
