Destination guide

New York City's sixth borough (almost, anyway)

On the west bank of the Hudson River, right across from bustling New York City, lively and ethnically diverse Jersey City has come into its own, and rivals some of the most popular neighborhoods of its more famous sister city as the place many New Yorkers want to live. From the Statue of Liberty to professional football games, most of the area's top attractions are close by. A Jersey City vacation rental puts you near elegant Victorian mansions, historic brownstones, and glittering high-rises. It's emergence as a banking and finance center has earned it the nickname Wall Street West.

Things to do

You can't go wrong with Lady Liberty on your side

Be sure to pack your camera when you head to your Jersey City vacation rental, because you'll be on the doorstep of some of the most famous attractions in the world. Directly from Liberty State Park, you can catch a ferry to the Statue of Liberty and historic Ellis Island. Before you leave the park, be sure to check out the "Empty Sky" 9/11 Memorial and the interactive Liberty Science Center museum. Sports fans can catch a professional football game at MetLife Stadium, just 10 minutes away. Of course, everything New York City has to offer is just across the river.

Activities

Up against the greatest backdrop in the world

No matter where you go in Jersey City, you'll have unbeatable views of the Lower Manhattan skyline. Skirting the Hudson River, Liberty State Park is the place to go if you're looking to get active. There are plenty of trails for hiking, biking, and walking, plus some unbeatable picnic spots. You can take a canoe or kayak out on the river, or try your hand at fishing. In winter, there's ice skating, and Liberty National Golf Course is on hand if you want to play a round. Of course, all the world-renowned shopping of New York City is just a train ride away.

Weather

So many seasons to choose from, so little time

You have your pick of seasons when you're looking for a Jersey City vacation rental. Summers are warm and humid, with high temperatures well into the 80s and 90s between June and September. Winters are the opposite, with below-freezing temperatures common from December through March. There's also a good chance you'll see snow, sometimes plenty of it, during that time. Fall comes with a fiery foliage display, particularly in October and November. Rain is possible any time of year, so you might want to bring an umbrella, just in case.

Natural features

The only jungle you'll see here is the urban one

Offering up a blend of the big city and the suburbs in one compact area, Jersey City has a little bit of everything to offer. The Hudson River is a central feature, offering a great place for relaxation. To the south, New York Harbor opens up to the vast Atlantic Ocean beyond. There's plenty of green space and fresh air available in the city's parks, including the sprawling Liberty State Park.
