About Downtown

Once dominated by low-rise buildings to the west of the waterfront, the Historic Downtown has now changed into one of the most sought-after areas of Jersey City. The Downtown skyline has changed over the last decade welcoming new high-rise luxury residential and commercial buildings. However, most of the historic Brownstones and town-homes have been expertly restored, retaining the “Old World” charm the area is known for. Neighborhoods include Van Vorst Park, Paulus Hook, The Village and Hamilton Park. Located by the PATH station Grove Street and Newark Ave these neighborhoods are rich with boutiques, bars and restaurants that cater to the diverse Jersey City residents. The historic Downtown has truly redefined urban living and has become the crown jewel of New Jersey’s second largest city.

The other burgeoning section of Downtown Jersey City, the Waterfront, includes the neighborhoods Powerhouse Arts District, Newport, Harborside Financial Center, and Paulus Hook.
