Imagine viewing the Manhattan skyline from the river … walking through a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood filled with shops and restaurants … massive skyscrapers … historic architecture … it's no wonder Jersey City is such a popular (and expensive!) destination. It is also one of the country's largest downtown business districts, earning it the nickname "Wall Street West."
