BERGEN-LAFAYETTE
Bergen-Lafayette is really two separate neighborhoods in Jersey City but typically linked together into one community. One of the largest neighborhoods in Jersey City, this upscale community is undergoing a transformation which includes the creation of luxury housing. This area is being rediscovered by artists, young professionals and long time Jersey City residents alike for its proximity to mass transit, lower costs and authentic character. Bergen Hill includes some of the most beautiful row houses in Jersey City. While Bergen-Lafayette includes some commercial areas, most residents head elsewhere for large shopping trips. This emerging community has a variety of historic properties which are ripe for revitalizing and still considered under-valued compared with neighboring towns. The Historic District is proud of its 19th century Victorians, brownstones and converted warehouse lofts.
Transportation
