Jersey City
Newark Bay municipality
Jersey City is a city in northeastern New Jersey, directly across the Hudson River from lower Manhattan.
The second-largest city in New Jersey, it serves as a major transportation hub and has become an extension of New York City's financial district and residential market: We moved to Jersey City for the cheaper rent but kept our jobs in Manhattan.
