Perth Amboy, NJ homes for sale & real estate.
Browse homes for sale in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Perth Amboy is a historic waterfront city of roughly 55,000 residents at the meeting of the Raritan River, the Arthur Kill, and Raritan Bay - a Hispanic-majority community with deep roots, a lively downtown, and a rebuilding waterfront. Settled in 1683 and incorporated in 1718, it offers a varied housing mix: classic two- and three-family homes, single-family neighborhoods, and the waterfront townhomes of Harbortown , at some of the most attainable price points in Middlesex County.
Perth Amboy is built for commuters. The Perth Amboy station on NJ Transit's North Jersey Coast Line runs to Newark Penn Station, Secaucus Junction, and New York Penn Station, with bus 116 to the Port Authority.
