Jersey City
Jersey City blends historic brownstone districts like Paulus Hook, Van Vorst Park, and Hamilton Park with modern high-rises rising in the Waterfront and Journal Square. Grove Street and Newark Avenue form a pedestrian-friendly restaurant and nightlife spine, while the Heights and Bergen-Lafayette add fast-growing residential scenes and parks. Liberty State Park offers sweeping harbor views, trails, and ferries to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Housing spans prewar walk-ups, renovated townhomes, luxury rentals and condos with amenities, and single-family pockets. The city's size supports multiple retail corridors, art galleries, food halls, and year-round community events. Its waterfront skyline rivaling Manhattan reflects the city's rapid growth.
Schools
Jersey City Public Schools feature magnets like McNair Academic with top outcomes, wide AP and honors selections, and a large charter and private network for added choice.
Commute to NYC
PATH trains from Exchange Place, Grove Street, Journal Square, and Newport reach the World Trade Center or 33rd Street in about 5–25 minutes, and NY Waterway ferries offer additional Midtown and Downtown routes.
