The Heights Reviews

63 reviews

Lots of families. It’s a lot of diverse families. Seems to be trending as a neighborhood for people leaving the city or Hoboken. It is just on the cliff over Hoboken so easy access.

Friendly mostly. Our neighbors at worst keep to themselves. It’s walkable. Decent for riding a bike too.

There’s lots of neighborhood things going on. There are a number of parks with many events and sports for kids. Riverview park has a farmers market for half the year.

Central ave is, well, the central avenue. Lots of local shops and many ethnic foods and grocers.

The trash is awful though. It’s my biggest complaint about the neighborhood. I can deal with dangerous drivers but the trash is really sad to see when you walk out of your home. It’s a combination of people just littering without any regard for what that does, the trash pickup basically dumping trash in the streets every couple nights, and the city only cleans up downtown.

Getting into the city is pretty easy.

Awesome neighborhood with character. Rapidly growing. We moved from Williamsburg, Brooklyn after living there since the late 90's. I can see the Heights develop into another Williamsburg in the next 5-7 years. It's a no brainer being 10 minutes from Tribeca.

"Dense-urban" neighborhood with a suburban feel. Plenty of new restaurants, bars, retailers etc have moved in here this year. Great walkability and very safe at all hours.
Developers are coming in and building luxury condos and large apartment buildings. Definitely a sign of growth. I love living here.

Review The Heights

Quiet and peaceful neighbourhood, ideal for families. More and more options for bagel places, boutique cafes, especially over the last year. Love how friendly the neighbors are.

Quiet and safe area, ideal for young families. We have great relationship with our neighborhood and never experienced any issue with the authorities. Overall, the experience at Heights has been great.

We have been so happy living at Heights. Nothing to complain really. Maybe it would be good if we had more cafes but even that doesn't bother us.

Moved in the Heights in 2012 with my husband and planning to live here for the rest of our lives. This are is getting better and better every year, so I hope the houses don't get too expensive.

Overall I'm enjoying living at Heights. Probably my favourite neighborhood in New Jersey. Close to everything. Best fit for my family as well.

Comfortable area with very polite neighbors. Excellent law enforcement. Not many bars to grab a drink but not a big deal, since it's close to Hoboken etc.

Such a unique neighborhood. We work in Manhattan and so glad that the City added so many different commute options. Our children attend a great school and couldn't be happier with the overall experience.

An improving neighborhood that combines peaceful lifestyle and comfortable commute to NYC. Have been a resident since 1998 and especially over the last 10 years the changes we have seen are astonishing: More businesses are opening, lots of young highly educated business-oriented people are moving in and overall it has been evolved as a great environment to live in!

My experience at Heights, Jersey City has been absolutely awesome since 2011 when I moved in. It's probably one of the best options for professionals who work in Manhattan area and have more than 1 kid. Safe environment and quiet.

Neighbors are so friendly to each other and since 2010 when we moved with our family we've enjoyed it a lot. Chilled environment and nothing to complain really. There are not many cafes and shops and every year 5 new businesses open, so no doubt this will be one of the most sought after hoods in the years to come.

Overall having a great experience. Safe neighborhood and excellent set up, especially for families who look more chilled lifestyle. Commute to Midtown Manhattan is good and law enforcement sufficient.

Calm & pleasant city feeling like a village. My family loves it since we moved out from NYC. Inexpensive and safe as well.

Heights is the best alternative to Manhattan. Great fit for families, Heights is a peaceful and quiet neighborhood with low crime and traffic. Diverse with 15-20 min commute to Manhattan. Amenities are good and getting improved.
