Just moved to JC in November after 13+ years in Brooklyn (Williamsburg, South Slope, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights). There was definitely some hesitancy to leave the city and we hadn’t spent much time in JC but family being this way and a new kid in the picture helped push us to look. We instantly fell in love with the town especially Hamilton Park & Van Vorst & Paulus Hook areas. We got a place in Hamilton Park and love it. There’s a bit of a culture shock in just how low density the area feels. I see as many people between our place & Grove Street commute as you see in 10 seconds on the city side. Sometimes we miss the action but we’re still finding lots of great things in JC to get excited about. And it’s so much cleaner. Come check it out at least.
