About Jersey City
Jersey City, often defined by its proximity to New York City, is its own universe, studded with an array of standout attractions and home types. The Waterfront is one of the most popular places to live in the area, where you will find glassy condo towers, the Colgate Clock (yes, the toothpaste), and stunning views of lower Manhattan. Housing options abound in Jersey City. Those looking to rent or buy will find a mix of new construction, older complexes, and classic brownstones. Other notable neighborhoods the Jersey City curious should have their radar includes Historic Downtown, Journal Square, and The Heights.
Is there a train from Jersey City to NYC?
Only the Hudson River and a 7-minute train ride separate Jersey City from New York City. The Grove Street PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson transit system) station is Jersey City’s central hub for travelers. Another great way to get to Manhattan is The New York Waterway Ferry. Need to travel within the Garden State? Jersey City is serviced by the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, allowing easy access to other New Jersey cities like Bayonne, Hoboken, Union City, and North Bergen.
