Hoboken
Just north of Jersey City Small and compact and a very trendy place to live and play. It has direct access to Manhattan via Path. Its also a major commuter rail hub.

Great pictures. I was in Jersey City on Monday, but didn't take any pictures. I think that Jersey City is better than any North Jersey hubs that I have seen, like Newark or Elizabeth or Hackensack. Is Exchange Place the name of the entire neighborhood on the waterfront, or is that just the name of a street or block or something?
That train station in Hoboken looks nice. |
Nice
I had no idea it was that developed..
|
Jersey City is looking good. And it's nice to see some ground level streetscape shots of Hoboken! If I were to ever move to the NYC area, Hoboken would be my #2 choice of location to live after Manhattan (though Manhattan is the big #1 by an enormous margin). :)
|
WOW!!!
Nice!!! We normally don't see New Jersey. Thanks for posting these great pics. |
Amen.
|
How many people work in Jersey City? Is it is as large as downtown Brooklyn in terms of workforce?
|
Very nice to see these Jersey cities. It isn't ALL about NYC. Thanks, some great stuff there!
|
Cool shots, I love this area.
|
Scruffy I hate you, and all those who enjoy living in the NY metro.
Why could I have been born there, or at least have close family member that I could visit as much as I want without having to fork over a fortune for hotel expenses. Oh god I would love to live in the NYC area at least once. Yep I keep hoping one day before I get too old to enjoy it. Anyway don't get me wrong, I love living in LA, but it sure would be nice to have two great cities to call home. New York in the winter, Los Angeles in the summer. :banana: BTW love the photos, the train station in Hoboken is beautiful. |
So this is the product of NYC urban sprawl in NJ! I love it! :cheers:
|
Those are great pics, especiallly Hoboken. I like your camera, too. I used to live in the Journal Square area of Jersey City (for 8 interminably long years). I don't have fond memories of the place. Most of the city looks nothing like what's pictured here. As a matter of fact, for the most part it has very little to offer. Downtown JC (your pics) is a different story, of course, but it's a small part of the place. Now Hoboken, well, that's like comparing apples and oranges. Hoboken is sweet, unless you're offended by large swarms of yuppies.

Absolutely KICK ASS photo thread.
The views of Manhattan from Jersey are some of my favorite. I have to admit, in my years living here I've spent virtually no time on the Jersey side of the Hudson. But there's quite a skyline going up over there. Is the Hudson really 2 miles wide? It doesn't seem so... |
Fantastic tour and incredible shots! Had no idea there was the much going on in Jersey.
|
Nice tour! I used to spend tons of time around there. Things have changed a bit in the six or so years since then.
|
these pics are fantastic & brings back memories since I was born in Jersey City and grew up in the cites north of it such as Union City & West New York.
Those are the ones that are higher up on the cliffs over looking the Hudson with fantastic views of Manhattan. I remember having a SE view where we could see the World Trade Center from our second floor apartment.I think this is where my addiction to skyscrapers started! |
Nice pics, but there's a high-rise in the pic right after the abandoned park that appears to be unfinished. What's the story with that?
|
Thanks all. The area does get overshadowed by everything across the river and its actually very cool on its own right. I definitely plan on going back this summer.

Does anyone knows something about apartment rentals in Jersey City/Hoboken ? is it cheaper than NYC ? I've the opportunity to move in NY area for 3 months, i'm strongly considering JerseyCity or Hoboken to live. Thanks. |
