Bayonne, New Jersey, enjoys a great location in close proximity to Newark, Jersey City, New York City, and Staten Island.

The small population of 62,000 people represents a close-knit community in the heart of the New Jersey/New York City Area. Numerous one and two family homes, small apartment buildings, and small business, help to lend the town a warm, friendly feeling.

The Bayonne area is home to some of the best urban housing stock in the State of New Jersey. Residents take an active part in maintaining their homes and property. An solid education program has led to Bayonne youngsters scoring some of the best marks and honors in the State. Major shipping operations round out the industrial sector of the city. A major military port, and several commercial ports mean that ships come and go in Bayonne's busy harbors.

A site of interest here is the elegant steel Bayonne Bridge. It's one of the largest steel arch bridges in the world and it spans the Kill Van Kull to link the city to Staten Island. Its high clearance of 150 feet under a gently curving archway is a sight to behold. Since its opening in 1931, it's served as a major artery linking Bayonne to the outlying regions in New York State.
