"Jersey City is one of the most walkable cities in the United States, and this neighborhood is one of the reasons. Boasting a Walk Score of 95 out of 100, Journal Square ranks as the second-most-walkable neighborhood in "Chilltown." Even The Waterfront, which also has great views of Manhattan and delicious food, doesn't have quite as high of a score. Nearly everything you might need in Journal Square sits within a compact, pedestrian-friendly radius."
"As you step outside of the historic terminal, which has been around since the early 1910s, you are able to see the iconic red sign of the old Jersey Journal building, a local news outlet that served the city for over 100 years and which gave the district its name. Not far is one of Journal Square's most iconic landmarks - the Jackie Robinson bronze statue, honoring the legendary Black baseball pioneer who played his first U.S. minor league game nearby."
Journal Square sits in central-west Jersey City and has transformed from a busy commuter crossroads into a dynamic, eclectic commercial and residential district. The neighborhood houses over 22,000 residents and an increasingly defined skyline. High walkability characterizes the area with a Walk Score of 95 out of 100 and compact, pedestrian-friendly streets where most needs lie within easy distance. Frequent PATH service connects Journal Square to Manhattan in under 30 minutes from 33rd Street. Historic elements include an early-1910s terminal and the iconic red Jersey Journal sign, while public art and landmarks such as the Jackie Robinson bronze statue honor local history.
