The Logistics
Instead of connecting from the PATH to the subway, you'll take Metro-North to Grand Central. Door-to-door time is often comparable; check the trip from the house to the station and on to your office.
The Lifestyle Shift
If you need more space than a Hoboken condo, Greenwich offers houses with yards. Old Greenwich and Downtown retain walkable access to shops and the train.

The Greenwich Association of REALTORS reported an August 2026 single-family median of $3.95M, but condos and Cos Cob still open doors under $2M. Greenwich property taxes (mill rate 10.125, ~0.71% of market) are significantly lower than NJ rates.

Is it hard to make friends?
Not at all. The Newcomers Club is very active, and you'll find many former NJ residents who made the same leap.
What about taxes?
Property taxes in Greenwich are significantly lower than most NJ suburbs. It's often the deciding factor for our clients.
Is it kid-friendly?
Incredibly. Between the parks, libraries, beaches, and sports programs, the entire town is designed around family life.
How is the drive to NJ to see family?
Easy. You hop on 95 or the Merritt to the Tappan Zee (Cuomo) Bridge. You avoid NYC traffic entirely.
Will I miss the walkability?
