No, it's heavily landmined

Landmines are fine. Muggers are a problem

It's incredibly safe. The cost of the rent alone should tell you that.

Thank you! I felt the rent there was slightly less than that in Paulus Hook and that was another reason I was concerned.

Paulus Hook is a closer to the PATH, quieter and feels more like a residential neighborhood because the buildings are smaller scale. Main difference in the rent. Both areas are perfectly safe, though.

It’s a happening part of downtown… yes it’s safe. Search on the sub or visit

Thank you. Unfortunately I can't visit as I'm living in Boston. I did visit once but didn't check that area.

Which sub are you talking about?

just to echo what's already been shared - it's absolutely a generally safe area. The management company of 333 grand owns all of the buildings and streets in the direct area and has nighttime security and cameras everywhere for the added layer of protection. You're still in a city so will naturally have anything that comes along with living in a city and 333 grand being so near to the hospital and light rail can sometimes bring some interesting characters but nothing that should deter from living there or that you wouldn't find elsewhere.

now, the lantern fly issue in this neighborhood of jersey city begs an entirely different concern.

Extremely safe.

I think the most dangerous thing is Grand St traffic can be a little hectic for bikers lol

Super safe, I'd say, but also very noisy. The hospital is right there, so be ready for sirens galore.

Safe in what way? Traffic/pedestrian safety? Grand st can be busy so just be careful crossing the street. Personal safety like robberies mugging? It’s pretty safe however mugging or robberies can happen anywhere. I don’t think it’s a major problem here. Severe weather? This area is prone to flooding. Hurricane Sandy hit this neighborhood hard and he proximity to the river flooded many homes here.

Any other particulars?

Been living at Liberty Harbor for over a decade now. I consider it safe.

Only thing you need to worry about in that area are the morons in cars

Super safe area! I also moved here from Boston and couldn’t be happier here. Much more friendly people here and pretty much anything you need is available close by. One thing I’ll say is that if you don’t have a parking spot it might be difficult to snag one on the street at times
