  What it’s like to live in The Waterfront

  Manhattan skyline views define The Waterfront, where Jersey City's eastern edge offers spectacular New York panoramas across the Hudson River. The district features luxury high-rises with amenities rivaling Manhattan developments at significantly more competitive rates despite similar square footage. Though rental prices exceed inland Jersey City neighborhoods, the combination of PATH train access providing direct Manhattan connections, waterfront parks and promenades, and significantly more value than similar-quality properties across the river creates compelling advantages for professionals seeking urban sophistication without New York's extreme housing costs.
