Reply to comment by [deleted] in Moving to Jersey City from UK by BerryFit3491

Do not even think about journal square. You've got a well paying job and want to experience city life. You'll fit right in downtown Jersey City or Hoboken. As someone mentioned before, there are many UK expats here. Everything you mentioned is available, including parks, restaurants, beer, and you have quick access to NYC. Virtually every family, if they don't have kids, they have dogs here.

LOL. As if no one with “well paying jobs” who wants to experience city life lives in Journal Square. Have you considered that some people who want city life also want to embrace living in and giving back to a diverse community? Do you hear yourself?

How does living in downtown Jersey City prevent one from "embracing living in and giving back to a diverse community"?

I'm glad you've made a great decision for yourself.

You’re writing off an entire neighborhood that has a lot to offer — it’s culturally rich and a hub for art and history. Some people value that.

I'm sure it's fabulous. But based on the OP's criteria downtown is a better fit, IMHO.
