Hi everyone,

I'm moving into Jersey City over the next month or so and honestly just wanted to ask residents here their thoughts on 2 options I have. 1.) - I have a car, and work in Midtown in NYC. 2.) - If possible, I'd like to use street parking with residency permit. 3.) - I like nightlife, especially in Downtown JC, but I know it can be tough at times, to find parking there

1.) - Found a rental in the heights, about 10 min walk from the Congress Street Light rail. They want $2100, I was going to offer $2000 and see if they'll negotiate at all.

2.) - I found another rental, 5 minutes from Grove Street. She wants $2500, it has utilities included, shes ready to sign it to me today if I want, HOWEVER it has no parking, and its basically a large 1 bedroom basement apartment. Utilities included, no washer dryer. I felt like $2300 is a more reasonable area for such an apartment, I'll offer that and I was thinking maybe if she take $2400 just take it since it has utilities.

​

Thoughts? Also, how bad is resident parking in Downtown JC? Is there alternate side parking in the Heights too, or only Downtown JC? Thanks for your help!
