Safest neighborhoods in Jersey City

Sam Schaefer

Hello Bigger Pockets!

I am interested in investing in an owner-occupied multi-family fixer upper property in North Jersey. I have heard a lot of good things about Jersey City and would really like to invest there. Since I plan on living in this property, what are some neighborhoods I should try to stay away from? The crime stats I've found online have not been the most helpful, but it seems like Greenville is a neighborhood that I should steer clear of. Any advice is much appreciated!!

Hey @Sam Schaefer

Jersey City can be hit or miss from street to street.  Downtown, by Grove Street Path is absolutely the most expensive and "safest".  But, you can find safety in Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette, Heights, and even by Journal Square.  I work in the NYC, and live in Greenville.  If you would like we can meet up and discuss.
