The Jersey City suburb
The towering West Side skyline greets visitors as they enter Jersey City from the Pulaski Skyway. With shopping along West Side Avenue, its own public golf course, the landmark Holy Name Cemetery, a plethora of vintage homes, and proximity to Saint Peter’s University, West Side offers a unique combination of amenities for competitive housing prices not to be found in much of the increasingly popular Jersey City. “Say you’re considering a move to New Jersey, but the downtown scene does not fit your budget requirements,” says Corey Jones, a Realtor with 28 years of experience selling in the greater Jersey City area. “Here, you can get a little more living space and more for your money.” The West Side provides residents with suburban living within bustling Jersey City.
