Jersey City · Living

Real Estate

Jersey City contains several distinct housing markets, from waterfront towers and Downtown brownstones to Heights multifamily homes, Journal Square high-rises, West Side houses and Greenville neighborhoods.

Neighborhood Housing

Downtown & Waterfront

High-rise rentals and condominiums mix with brownstone historic districts around Paulus Hook, Hamilton Park, Van Vorst Park and Harsimus Cove.

Journal Square

Major new towers around PATH coexist with older apartment buildings and residential streets.

The Heights

One- and two-family houses, multifamily buildings, condos and infill development.

Bergen-Lafayette

Historic houses and multifamily properties alongside transit-oriented development.

West Side & Greenville

Traditional houses, multifamily properties and apartments with redevelopment along transit corridors.

Newport

Large planned waterfront district dominated by rental and condominium towers.

Before Buying or Renting

Check the exact parcel for zoning or redevelopment-plan controls, flood exposure, historic-district restrictions, parking, tax history, building rules and transit access. Jersey City conditions can change substantially from one neighborhood or block to another.

Public Resources

For authoritative zoning, redevelopment and property information, use Jersey City Planning, the municipal tax assessor and current FEMA/state flood resources. NJTGO’s neighborhood descriptions are orientation, not legal, appraisal or insurance advice.
