West Side pairs residential calm with easy city access on the western edge of Jersey City in Hudson County. Daily life orbits around Lincoln Park, a 250-acre greenspace with lakes, ballfields, tennis courts, a track, and riverfront trails, plus the nine-hole Skyway Golf Course just across the Hackensack. Tree-lined blocks mix classic prewar rowhouses, sturdy two-families, and new apartments rising around NJCU’s University Place, giving buyers and renters a range of options.
Education is a local strong suit. New Jersey City University anchors the neighborhood with a growing arts scene and community programming, while families tap Jersey City Public Schools and nearby charter options. Cafes, Latin American bakeries, and international eateries line West Side Avenue, and weekend routines often include a loop around the park or youth leagues on the fields.
Getting around is straightforward. The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail’s West Side Avenue terminal connects to the waterfront via the Hudson‑Bergen Light Rail, frequent buses run to Journal Square for PATH service, and Route 440 puts shopping and big-box essentials close to home in Greenville. With a neighborhood feel, serious green space, and steady investment, West Side appeals to first-time buyers and longtime residents alike.
