Marion. West of Journal Square and just south of the West Side, this pocket blends classic rowhouses with converted loft buildings and newly minted condos. Daily life runs on convenience: the Journal Square PATH Station places Lower Manhattan and Newark within easy reach, while local buses and bike-friendly streets make cross-town errands simple. Even a quick night out in Hoboken is a short ride away.
Culture fans gravitate to the neighborhood’s signature creative anchor, Mana Contemporary, where exhibitions, open studios, and performances draw an international crowd. When it’s time to unwind, residents head a few blocks west to the expansive Lincoln Park for tennis, trails, ballfields, and skyline sunsets. Closer to home, Newark Avenue’s India Square brings unbeatable spice markets, vegetarian thalis, and late-night snacks, while small cafes and bakeries reward repeat visits.
Families appreciate the neighborhood feel and school options, including the local Mahatma K. Gandhi School (PS 23), plus proximity to Saint Peter’s University for continuing education, career events, and athletics. With a diverse housing stock, solid transit, and a growing arts and dining scene, Marion offers day-to-day ease and room to grow.
