McGinley Square puts you at the lively crossroads of Bergen Avenue and Montgomery Street, right in the heart of Jersey City. Anchored by the historic campus of Saint Peter’s University, the area blends classic prewar architecture with new residences, tree‑lined blocks, and a steady hum of student energy. Commuters appreciate the quick walk or bus ride to Journal Square, where the PATH whisks you to Manhattan; schedules and service updates are easy to check through PATH’s official site.
Day to day, McGinley Square rewards walkers: independent cafes, global eateries, and corner markets cluster along Bergen and Montgomery, with evening buzz from campus events and neighborhood gatherings. When you need green space, it’s a short bike ride west to the playing fields and woodland trails of Lincoln Park in the West Side. Weekends might mean exploring galleries and new restaurants in Downtown or heading south toward creative spots and parks in Bergen-Lafayette.
Schools are a strong draw. Saint Peter’s University anchors higher education locally, and secondary options include Hudson Catholic Regional High School, known for its academics and athletics. The neighborhood’s churches and community centers host after‑school programs, while nearby transit and bike lanes make cross‑town activities easy for families.
