I live between two main blocks and I live on a quiet block where are residential and homes to the right of my home is Martin Luther King Ave. the most noise is the young people that’s out in the summertime but we have a enforced curfew over here for young people, especially during school time so you won’t see people hanging on a street too tough you might see some older adults playing cards to the right of me is another main block which is Food and a grocery store library on the corner from me and masjid is around the corner from me. And also, there are three parks in my area

Jersey City is an upcoming metropolis, that somehow resembles Manhattan, Bergen County, and the Midwest all at the same tone. diverse, with more extra curricular activities than you can image, there is constant police presence. it is safe, secure, and coming up.

Certain parts of JC are quite safe, but there are parts like Jersey heights, journal square where it might get a bit unsafe. I live a very residential neighborhood called Grove St. It’s very safe and pleasant place to live. Nice cafes. Gyms, parks and restaurants in the area. The place has events happen around summer.
