Jersey City -  the largest city in New Jersey / County Seat of Hudson County. 

Jersey City lies east of Interstate 95 (the New Jersey Turnpike) and is situated on Upper New York Bay directly across from Lower Manhattan and north of Staten Island along the Hudson River Gold Coast. 

Jersey City real estate is currently undergoing a complete makeover, anchored by Wall Street moving Back Office operations to the Exchange Place and Newport City neighborhoods. The old Colgate-Palmolive site and the adjacent Harborside Financial Center are becoming an extraordinary business neighborhood serviced by ferries, PATH and the new Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system.  Jersey City has a mix of older single and multi-family houses, brownstones, and a growing number of newer condo and townhouse developments.

Just north of Exchange Place on the Jersey City waterfront, Newport Centre has transformed the area on both sides of the approaches to the Holland Tunnel with residential rental and condo housing, hotels, extensive retail including the Newport Mall, and new business office towers.
