Jersey City is a good place to consider if buying an updated apartment in New York City is priced out of reach. Not only can you find new and renovated apartments and townhouses for much less than you would pay in NYC—but you can be in the city within 30 minutes or even less via public transportation. 

Development continues to boom in Jersey City, bringing new, amenity-laden residential buildings, and there’s more to come: Developers are planning to add 1,400 apartments, plus retail, college dorms, and two theater spaces to Marin Boulevard in downtown Jersey City, according to a report on the website Jersey Digs—just one of many ongoing projects. 

How do the prices compare to NYC? According to Redfin, the current median sales price is $595,000. You can also find some townhouses and single- and multi-family houses here. 

The best known greenspace, Liberty State Park, is on the waterfront and has views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Manhattan. There are also many dining and shopping options with malls like Newport Centre plus locally-owned stores, bars, and restaurants. 

For transportation to NYC, you can take a PATH train, a New York Waterway ferry, or a bus that takes you to Port Authority. There are NJ Transit buses and light rails for local transportation. 

So, if living in Jersey City sounds appealing to you, here are five places for sale for under $600,000 including a two-bedroom condo near a ferry stop and a four-bedroom townhouse in a gated community.
