Ahhh. You JC Natives. Booker T is clearly in Bergen-Lafayette. I consider Montgomery Gardens McGinley Square because it's next to the Beacon. Holland Gardens is on the other side of the friggin Holland Tunnel. You can throw technicalities at me all you want, but the fact remains that ALL of these complexes are so isolated from the downtown neighborhoods that my neighbors and I would not consider them Downtown. I'm sorry if that offends anyone. I promise I am not a RE agent.
But I do promise that I am one stubborn SOB
How is Booker T clearly Bergen-Lafayette when the most northern borders of Bergen-Lafayette are parts of Grand and Communipaw? Yes Holland Gardens is on the other side of the tunnel but then what neighborhood is it since you dont consider it to be Downtown according to you? So according to you and your neighbors just because Booker T, is on the other side of the Turnpike its not Downtown. I dont see how this would isolate it from your neighborhood since its only a short 6 block walk or drive to Van Vorst Park. So would that mean the whole area east of 6th st you wouldnt consider Downtown 10 years ago because the tracks of the embankment were up then and it isolated it from the rest of Downtown?
Listen, you can argue till your dead on what is considered 'downtown'. It is pointless. The main point here is there are better places overall than Jersey City, period. Downtown, Uptown, eastside,westside - you are still living in JC. Look elsewhere.
i lived in jersey city for two years (avalon cove) right off of washington by pavonia/newport....very nice up and coming area....safe, but getting more expensive every year...hoboken is very nice and i would recommend that even more...easy to get on the train to the city, nicer streets, young friendly crowd...

You're saying that JC is up and coming, but getting more expensive, so look at Hoboken?
Since it's been 5 years since the last post, how does Jersey City rank today?
