Port Reading, NJ

Port Reading is a small, quiet neighborhood along the Arthur Kill waterfront in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey. Home to roughly 4,000 residents, it originally developed around a late-1800s coal port built by the Reading Railroad. While you will still see traces of that working waterfront and rail history, most of the neighborhood today is made up of established residential streets and suburban homes.

For anyone looking to move here, daily life is connected to the broader Woodbridge Township, which provides local schools, parks, and community services. The location is especially practical for commuters, thanks to quick access to the New Jersey Turnpike at Exit 12 and several nearby train stations for trips into New York City. Overall, it works well as a down-to-earth, convenient home base close to major regional hubs.
