Positioned directly across from the tip of Lower Manhattan, Jersey City is often called New York City's "sixth borough," not only for its proximity to New York but also for its metropolitan combination of history and forward-looking modernism. More than 262,000 people from all over now call Jersey City home, making it the second-largest municipality in the state after Newark. The enclave has received no shortage of accolades, including being named the 13th best city in the country for young professionals in 2022 and the 79th best city to live in in 2021, according to Niche which awarded the city an overall grade of A-. Jersey City also earns high marks for its diversity, with a population that as of this writing is 23 percent Black/African American, 25 percent Asian and 29 percent Hispanic/Latino. As of this writing Jersey City is ranked the most diverse city in the country.
Spanning 21 square miles, Jersey City offers a rich tapestry of neighborhoods, each with its own unique appeal and defining characteristics. Downtown Jersey City is the most cosmopolitan and expansive of the city's enclaves, and even it is subdivided into micro-neighborhoods and historic districts. Along the northern waterfront area, you'll find Newport's gleaming high-rises and breathtaking views, plus a convenient PATH station, the Newport Centre Mall and beautiful parks. Further south along the river, Exchange Place features another PATH station, major corporate headquarters and the revitalized Harborside development, including 71,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, outdoor areas and Jersey City's Smorgasburg outpost. Downtown's southernmost coastal district, Paulus Hook, was established in 1633 and served as an important strategic site during the Revolutionary War. Today, it's home to the now awkwardly named Manhattan Yacht Club, which relocated here from Battery Park in 2015.
Downtown's inland neighborhoods included Hamilton Park, a historic 19th century residential community surrounding a namesake square. A true neighborhood gathering spot, the popular park offers tennis courts, a dog park, playground, farmer's market and outdoor movies. The Van Vorst Park area offers a similar ambiance with historic rowhouses surrounding a centerpiece park and market. In between, the central downtown corridor buzzes with activity thanks to the Grove Street PATH station and the fantastic Newark Pedestrian Plaza lined with excellent shopping, dining and nightlife venues. On the adjacent blocks of Historic Downtown, Harsimus Cove and Liberty Harbor, you'll find a range of housing stock from modest two- and three-family houses, boutique apartments and new construction buildings. Also an area with considerable new construction development is the Village which is an area farthest from the waterfront promenade and within walking distance of the Grove Street PATH. Here you will find White Eagle Hall a a music, theatre, and events hall in a restored historic building and Cellar 335, ranked one of the best restaurants in NJ, Madame , a modern bistro and cocktail bar, and Prato Bakery.
