More About Jersey City NJ

Just across the Hudson from lower Manhattan, Jersey City has a skyline of its own and a powerful economic character of which its residents can be proud. Jersey City sits across a narrow peninsula with the Hudson River on one side and Newark Bay on the other. Only a mile away from Manhattan, Jersey City is intimately connected to NYC with a few perks for being its own separate place.

Though Jersey City is very pedestrian-friendly with lots of alternative transportation options, it’s much easier to have a car here than in Manhattan or Brooklyn. In Jersey City, you can have the best of both worlds of car ownership to help you get out to weekend hikes and access to trains and subways that will take you into the heart of NYC.

If you think of Jersey City as the “seventh” borough of NYC, then Jersey City real estate is by far the best balance of affordability and proximity to Manhattan. Real estate prices in Jersey City, NJ are significantly lower than in Manhattan or Brooklyn, as are groceries and private schools.

Jersey City real estate is a prime market for young families and couples looking for more space and ‘down-time’ in their day-to-day lives. Trade out the glass skyscrapers of Manhattan for the calmer, quieter brick buildings of historic downtown Jersey City, and the hilly residential neighborhoods that make up so much of Jersey City. It’s a great irony too, that you can often see more of the Manhattan skyline than anyone living in actual Manhattan, just by driving around town.

Jersey City NJ Real Estate Market

Jersey City real estate has been on a steady upswing of appreciation these past five years, with home values increasing by 35% since 2017.

Most of the real estate for sale in Jersey City features two-to-three bedrooms and lists for a median price of $619K.
