Located between the Hackensack and Hudson Rivers, Jersey City is home to a multi-cultural population of about a quarter of a million people. This city may once have been thought of as NYC's poorer cousin, but times have changed and Jersey City is now widely considered to be NYC's "sixth borough." Growth has brought with it a wealth of opportunity, particularly within the finance, insurance, and real estate industries, but there are plenty of places to enjoy a little down time, too. Local parks have been restored to their former glory and a bustling entertainment scene caters to all tastes. The median age of Jersey City residents is a mere 35 years young, but the city has plenty to offer to people of all ages, making it the perfect place to call home.
