Not sure if this has been asked before, but Been living here since 2008. Crime rate is something to consider -Bayonne sits at 223.0 per 100K. It's a a smaller city city with about 70,468 people. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $446,100 on average. The suburbs are where most families end up.
