South Amboy, NJ homes for sale & real estate.
Browse homes for sale in South Amboy, New Jersey. South Amboy is a small waterfront city of roughly 9,400 residents on Raritan Bay, within sight of the New York City skyline. Paired with Perth Amboy across the river as " The Amboys ," it's a tight-knit, well-established community now drawing fresh attention thanks to its rail access, a brand-new ferry to Manhattan, and an actively redeveloping waterfront. Housing is mostly single-family homes plus newer townhomes and condos near the water.
South Amboy's location is its calling card. The South Amboy station on NJ Transit's North Jersey Coast Line runs to Newark, Secaucus, and New York Penn Station, and in October 2023 NY Waterway ferry service to Manhattan launched from the waterfront, with a new $30 million permanent terminal underway near the station. The New Jersey Turnpike at Exit 11 (signed for "The Amboys") and Route 35 add highway access. South Amboy generally prices below Middlesex County's ~$535,000 median, though new waterfront construction runs higher.
