Jersey City - the 2nd largest city in New Jersey
-- County Seat of Hudson County --
Downtown Jersey City lies east of Interstate 95 (the New Jersey Turnpike) and is situated on Upper New York Bay directly across from Lower Manhattan and north of Staten Island along the Hudson River Gold Coast.
Jersey City real estate has undergone a dramatic makeover, anchored by Wall Street moving Back Office operations to the Exchange Place, Grove and Newport City neighborhoods. The old Colgate-Palmolive site and the adjacent Harborside Financial Center are becoming an extraordinary business neighborhood serviced by ferries, PATH and the new Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system. Jersey City has a mix of older single and multi-family houses, brownstones, and a growing number of luxury condos and some townhouse development.
Just north of Exchange Place on the Jersey City waterfront, Newport Centre has transformed the area on both sides of the approaches to the Holland Tunnel with residential rental, two major condo buildings, hotels, extensive retail including the Newport Mall, and several new business office towers.

Jersey City is divided into six major areas
- Downtown - the area around Newport, Exchange Place, and Paulus Hook bordering the Hudson River on the east (including the neighborhoods around Van Vorst Park, Grove Street, Hamilton Park, and the Powerhouse Warehouse Arts District - WALDO). Downtown is very accessible to Manhattan with 3 PATH Stations, the Hudson=Bergen Light Rail, and a number of ferry crossings.
- Journal Square - the area in the center of Jersey City and south to Lincoln Park (including the Journal Square Transportation Center including PATH to Manhattan)
- The Heights = the area north of Journal Square on the Palisades above Hoboken with access to the Light Rail at 9th Street in Hoboken),
- Greenville - the area bordering Bayonne to the south,
- Bergen-Lafayette - as its name implies, Bergen-Lafayette is made of different neighborhoods. It lies west-southwest of Downtown and Liberty State Park. Its less-defined other borders overlap those of Greenville at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail to the south, Lincoln Park/West Bergen to the west, and Montgomery Street at McGinley Square to the north.
- West Bergen - the area bordering Newark Bay on the west (with access to the West Side Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Station).
