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.

Lincoln Park and other amenities
The 273-acre Lincoln Park, which opened in 1905, was the first park in Hudson County and contains a wealth of sports facilities from 21 tennis courts to seven baseball fields, a cricket pitch, three playgrounds, a running track, five basketball courts, two football fields, two soccer fields, and four paddleball courts. This massive green space is also a popular venue for jogging and fishing. Nearby, the Skyway Golf Course, with 55 acres of turf and nine holes, is the only public golf facility in the county and has hosted public tournaments since its opening in 2015. Art enthusiasts can check out Mana Contemporary, a cultural center featuring contemporary visual and performing arts exhibitions and programming. History buffs can visit the park to observe its 1929 statue of Abraham Lincoln, the park’s Civil War memorial, a fire department memorial, and a memorial to the Great Irish Famine.
