Been meaning to ask this. With a population of 70,468, Bayonne is a smaller city. Median household income is $81,285, which feels pretty solid for the area. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Appreciate any input. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
