Opis mesta: Jersey City is New Jersey's second-largest city. Situated in the northeastern section of the state, Jersey City sits across the Hudson from its older and bigger cousin, New York City. Historic Downtown - This area, directly to the west of the waterfront, is characterized by rows of restored brownstones, new condominiums, and some retail (largely centered on Grove Street). This area includes the historic neighborhoods of Paulus Hook along the Morris Canal, and Hamilton Park, Harsimus Cove, and Van Vorst Park further inland. Waterfront - Although considered to be part of Downtown Jersey City to most locals, this area is often categorized as a separate neighborhood because it is so different from the Historic Downtown area. Characterized by high-rise condos and office towers, it's also home to the planned community of Newport, which includes the popular Newport Mall. Journal Square - Named after the Jersey Journal, whose headquarters are located here, this was once the commercial heart of the city. It's home to the Hudson County Community College, as well as the county's courthouse and administration buildings. The Heights - Situated atop the Palisades, this primarily residential neighborhood is home to some of the county's most well-preserved Victorian mansions. This area has unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline, owing to its location high above downtown Jersey City and Hoboken. Liberty State Park - This district includes Liberty State Park itself, Cochrane Stadium/Caven Point Athletic Complex, and the exclusive Port Liberte development, which is home to luxury townhouses and condominiums as well as the Liberty National Golf Course. Bergen/Lafayette - This neighborhood of brownstones and row houses is slowly feeling the effects of gentrification from the neighboring downtown area. West Side - This ethnically diverse neighborhood is also home to Lincoln Park, Jersey City's own Central Park. Greenville - This area in the southern end of Jersey City is considered the roughest part of the city, but it is slowly being redeveloped.
