If diversity matters then JC is a better pick than Hoboken, especially if you're counting economic diversity among your diversity metrics. I also think the restaurants in JC are much better than the ones in Hoboken. Hoboken is safer, JC is neighborhood by neighborhood. Can't speak to what dating looks like for queer women in either city.

Thank you so much!! In terms of safety- what are the best neighborhoods to be in?

Anywhere east of the 78 loop (so downtown JC) is quite safe. The Heights is pretty safe for the most part. Journal Square statisically isn't too bad but it still gives me a rundown/dodgy feel. Bergen-Lafeyette is gentrifying rn so its block by block.

I would recommend downtown JC just due to accessebility to what you're looking for + safety + access to NYC.

Yes, 100% Downtown JC is what you’re looking at (Jersey City is really big and the neighborhoods are all quite different). Downtown is the most expensive, but the most urban/NYC-like and fits your budget for a luxury 1br.
