LEAD SECTION
[edit]

Historic Downtown can be further broken down into the neighborhoods of Harsimus Cove, The Village, Van Vorst Park, Grove Street, Hamilton Park and Boyle Plaza. The Waterfront includes the Powerhouse Arts District/WALDO, Newport, the Harborside Financial Center and Paulus Hook (including Exchange Place). Historic Downtown is the area west of Marin Boulevard, while the Waterfront lies to the east. Many of the names of Jersey City's downtown neighborhoods come from Dutch words or Dutch names from the early inhabitants along the Hudson.

Historic Downtown
[edit]

...that cater to the diverse backgrounds of Jersey City's inhabitants. The Grove Street PATH station is in the process of being rebuilt and a number of new housing is being built around the stop. Historic Downtown is home to many cultural attractions including the Jersey City Museum, the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse (planned to become a museum and artist housing) and the Harsimus Stem Embankment along Sixth Street, which a citizens' movement is working to turn into public parkland.^{[citation needed]}

Waterfront
[edit]

Like Historic Downtown, the waterfront of Jersey City is an area rich in history and full of current development. It is the location of the end of the Morris Canal and there is still a segment of this basin surrounded by Liberty State Park. The giant Colgate Clock, next to the Goldman Sachs Tower, a remnant of the industry that once lined the Hudson River on New Jersey's Coast.^{[citation needed]}
Paulus Hook is a mostly residential neighborhood stretching to the west from the Goldman Sachs building. Its main streets are Essex and Morris Streets and its waterfront is along the Morris Canal, where it maintains a walkway which is part of Jersey City's longer waterfront walkway. The Essex Street station on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and the development of office buildings to the east led to an increase in businesses lining Morris Street.^{[citation needed]}
The Paulus Hook and Grove Street neighborhoods, unlike many other redeveloped neighborhoods on the Hudson, have undergone the same revitalization with less gentrification. The Newport/Pavonia, Harborside Financial Center, and Exchange Place neighborhoods on the waterfront saw significant construction of high-rise towers, and with the addition of the Light Rail and more ferry service the area grew into a destination for businesses, residents and tourists.^{[citation needed]}
