About Amboy

Avenue

Amboy Avenue, located between Smith Street and New Brunswick Avenue, is a residential and commercial Perth Amboy neighborhood with a walkable main drag and a bayside backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Amboy Avenue at New Brunswick Avenue, where corner eateries, small grocers, and service storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Early-20th-century houses and compact multifamily buildings mix with low-rise retail, giving the corridor a practical, lived-in streetscape. Perth Amboy Waterfront and the marina set a salt-air edge to daily routines. Perth Amboy Ferry Slip and Perth Amboy Station tie the avenue to regional movement. The Perth Amboy Public Library and the Perth Amboy YMCA add civic rhythm beyond the storefronts.
