About Jersey City
Jersey City has become one of the most popular cities along the Hudson River. It has several qualities that appeal to a very diverse population such as vibrant communities, night life, theaters and art galleries, landmark attractions, parks, schools and an integrated transportation system. Situated across the Hudson River from New York, it has become a convenient commuting location to Manhattan. With plenty of transportation options such as a 24 hour PATH train service (15 minutes to 33rd Street), the New York Waterway (ferry), a Light Rail System, major highways and 15 minutes from Newark Airport.
The People
Jersey City boasts one of the most diverse populations in the United States giving it the reputation of being a Tapestry of Nations. With historical Ellis Island, it only stands to reason that substantial communities of Jewish, Italian, Cuban, Filipino, Polish, Indian, Irish, Puerto Rican, Dominican, African, Arab, and Asian have been well established. Every community comes together for Jersey City's Annual Block Parties. Hosted by the mayor and the Cultural Division of the Department of Health and Human Services, the block parties are held in each of Jersey City's six wards featuring music, food, drinks, games and workshops for kids. Also, don't miss the free movies in Van Vorst park every summer!
Schools
With plenty of academic choices located within the city, Mc Nair Academic High School has been dubbed the top public high school in New Jersey and 15th in the nation. Jersey City is also home to New Jersey City University, St. Peter's College, community college and branches of Phoenix University, Rutgers (the State University of New Jersey).

"I wanted to write and thank you for your efforts that led to the successful sale of my condo on Duncan Ave this fall. In the face of a difficult market, you were able to find a good prospect and keep the sale afloat. You, or one of the members of your team, were always ready to take the next step at each turn of the way. You seem to have reduced the process to a science! It's good to work with someone who delivers what he promises. I will be back in touch next time I require the services of The Shallis Group!"
