Question about Journal Square Neighborhood
Hi, I am going to start my job in mid-town Manhattan and considering
living in Journal Square in Jersey City because of the lower rent. But I have heard of some bad saying about crimes and neighborhood of Jersey City, so I am wondering if Journal Square is part of the bad neighborhood. I understand that Jersey City is large and the neighborhood is better for the areas close to the Hudson River. But can anyone tell me that what's the safe neighborhood and what's the neighborhood to avoid in Jersey City? Your help/information is greatly appreciated. Thanks Ed |

I might be wrong, but I seem to recall that the FBI's web site at http://www.fbi.gov has a section where you can enter a zip code and it will give you the crime stats for that area. |

Not much farther away (15-20 minutes into Midtown, via bus), and *much* nicer. Thanks. How about Weehawken neighborhood? |

Wehawken is nice, but I've heard the bus is surprisingly slow, since you're taking local roads into the Lincoln tunnel. |

But will bus still be the best option once Hudson Bergen Light Rail opens as far as Weehawken? Or will it be better to get HBLR and then PATH (or perhaps a ferry) to reach Manhattan? BTW, when is this section of HBLR due to open (can't be far off now)? -- MetroGnome ~~~~~~~~~~ |

Or will it be better to get HBLR and then PATH (or perhaps a ferry) to reach Manhattan? I think the bus + nyc subway will still be better, since the Hudson trolley is typically slow. Also it will let you off at the far south end of Hoboken terminal, which is a good walk from the PATH entrance. It's close to the ferry terminal, so if you were going to WFC it's probably a good match. But then again NY Waterway just announced that it is raising fares and cutting service, so you have to take that into account too. In conclusion I'd take bus+subway from Weehawken for all destinations except WFC. -- My email address has an extra @ (spell it out) and an extra invalid.
