Neighborhood in Jersey City, NJ
Current Resident: We live in the Waterfront District in a Harborside Apartment with 2 children enrolled in the zoned Ps.16 school. This place is such a gem, it gives us close proximity to Midtown, NYC, excellent public transport via PATH or NY Waterway or locally the Light rail at our doorstep. It is a walkable city, everything is within walking distance. People are friendly and enough quality eating options around. We enjoy the fresh air, family friendly community, the views of the Manhattan Skyline, the people, the vibe, the school and how close it is to NYC without having to put up with the pollution, noise and risks to safety. We are a family of 5 children under 5 and it has been a safe, welcoming fabulous city to raise our children.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: If Jersey City has earned the title of most diverse city in America, then Journal Square is its crown jewel. The area is a mix of some historic charm, new high rises and development, and a lot in between. Although green space is lacking, there are a few pockets in or nearby such as Canco Park, Leonard Gordon Park, and Pershing Field. The access to NYC is amazing: you can reach downtown NYC in about 10 mins, and midtown in about 20 mins. Lot of change happening as part of all the development — hope this will bring more retail, services, and walkability for residents.... Read 19 reviews

Current Resident: 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.... Read 63 reviews
