"It's an enclave of Jersey City, the thriving Hudson River city with delicious cuisine, and is one of the least-dense neighborhoods of the city, as Statistical Atlas shows. Its relative calm, combined with a high walking score of 81 given to the neighborhood by Apartments.com, makes Bergen-Lafayette especially suitable for exploring its relaxed, historic streets on foot at an unrushed pace."
"It was the first permanent settlement by Europeans in the state, founded by the Dutch in the 1660s. Though you won't find much remaining of the original Dutch settlement, the neighborhood is full of homes from the 18th and 19th centuries that lend it a historic character. In between its residential streets, there's plenty of green space, including Berry Lane Park, the largest city-owned park in Jersey City."
