I (29F) have lived on Ogden for 2 years. Here’s my list:

Pros:

  • Cheapish rent (Boyfriend and I pay $2600 for 2 bedroom with private outdoor space with city views)
  • Grocery store is 2 min walk away
  • Riverview Park is very nice. Love the farmers market
  • Solid restaurant and bar options within a 15 min walk
  • Bus to the city a block away, takes 45 mins at rush hour and 30-35 in regular traffic. I find the bus very convenient. Usually comes every 20 mins or less.

Cons:

  • Path is a 25 min walk or Uber
  • Parking is limited if you have a car. My boyfriend does and he complains about that. Sounds like you don’t though.
  • No shops around. You have to go into Hoboken for that. Closest CVS for me is a 16 min walk which sucks sometimes. I usually go to an nearby family pharmacy

Overall, I like living here. It’s definitely up and coming and more people are moving up here to avoid the flooding in Hoboken. I’d say move here vs. there because the property value is riding here quicker.
