Reply to comment by Heavy-Implement-8228 in Jersey City Apt Recommendations by Heavy-Implement-8228

You will have a lot of options. I used to live right above the Grove street station but recently I moved to Liber State Park area. I work in Manhattan I'm looking for bang for buck. Can 4.5k get you a nice apartment right by the train? Yea of course. But if you do decide to do that 10-15 min walk or even the light rail, that 4.5k will stretch to a 2+ bedroom. I live in an apartment now which I pay $3,100 for. 1br with.a den which I use an an office. My building has 3brs for 4200. All the building in my area have the same price point or cheaper. If I were you I'd look at Paulus hook area. I'd also recommend my new area but I understand it's more than a 15 min walk. I usually just take the light rail to get around Jersey City.

Do you have a car? Work fully remote?

As far as tips and tricks. Go directly to the building leasing offices and speak to them directly. If you can, a 2 year lease will drop your monthly cost.

I love it more everyday I'm here. So much stuff is getting built. All we need is a true supermarket and we'll be set! You can see what's coming over the next 2-3 years. Being close to the park is nice. My block alone as a coffee shop, liquor store, and a deli. MY building is BeLa Apartments. Right here in the area there are a few more. All old factories which have been converted into apartments.
