The online forums have unreliable and scarce information. The FB pages of the public school is one place to start. The official website is also good for limited info: http://www.jcboe.org/boe2015/
The best way is to find parents whose kids go to the school you are interested in and talk to them.

Real Estate agents are calling to find out if current owners in DTJC and Hoboken are willing to sell as the inventory is diminishing (down to 2 months).
So its tipping back to being a Seller's market. But waiting a bit more (1-2 years) will make more sense for Sellers, yes?

Absolutely agree about people standing by the door and creating a bottleneck. I bet the 12 min ride for most is cut down to 11 or even less if folks standing by the door clear the way at Grove and Newport.
PATH has the signs for 'Do not lean on the doors'. It should add 'Keep entry/exit area clear' when train is approaching a stop. The conductor can make an announcement as well. If someone is standing by the door, nonchalant, blocking 1/3rd of the entrance, and people at Grove and Newport are trying to board, everyone should just nudge him/her a little bit .... never going to happen I know, of course this is rude, offensive and maybe even against the law ....

I understand the concern with the pipeline, but there are already hundreds of miles of gas pipelines underneath us. Do we all know what is where and which buildings/zones are already in danger ? It is not a justification to add another pipeline, but the current "infrastructure" is aging and accidents can happen anytime anywhere ....

Crescent Ct is a good bang for your buck ... tucked away from Grove St (12 min walk west). Parking included, minimal amenities, but it keeps the HOA costs down. Finishing is much much better than Saffron and Five Flats (nearby comparisons).

Commuter vans sound interesting. Are these jitneys you are talking about? Or is it more organized ? Any websites to look at for schedules, routes, etc ?

Alternate (non-PATH) ways of travel between NYC and JC

With the recent snafu at PATH on Sat night, I'm sure a few of us got stuck either in NYC or in JC/Hoboken.
Could anybody please share details about which bus routes are best for travel between midtown NYC (midtown) to Jersey City and WTC to Jersey City. Yes, I know I can google things up, but would appreciate if frequent bus travelers would share some tips... Cabs are usually $45 + toll + tip. I'm looking for other inexpensive options (bus, jitney, etc). Thanks.

What about unlimited rides ? I get the 30-day unlimited, how many can I load up on my card before 9/18? Is it 2?

I'm all for local businesses, but this joint is out of place within the nbr'hood. Maybe they came before the nbr'hood improved (slightly) to what it is today .... so can't blame the owner.
Never been inside, so don't know how the experience is ...

On the PATH train from WTC to Newark, there is a guy who shouts instructions about the train, next station, watch out for closing doors, transfers, etc. I think he gets off at Grove and has an id badge hanging from his neck. The 'service' he provides I'm sure helps new comers, but can get annoying at times, if you are stuck in the same car as him on the train.

At the corner of Newark and Barrow, there is a table set out to sell belts, hats, etc. One of the tall guys is always wearing a pimped out suit and hat. He's just a wannabe pimp imo.

Newport will make more sense, though crossing Marin is a pain sometimes .... but if you walk to Grove, the train will then go to Newport, adding a couple of extra mins to your commute ...

Its all of the above that you mention and school kids just showing total disregard to the neighborhood that they may or may not be living in ...
If there is a way to file an official complain at the school (McNair, St. Anthony, etc) about their students loitering, that would be a good first step.

A PATH app will be great, but we need to have wi-fi at all PATH stations as well.
If the PATH service is suspended, your app should suggest alternate ways of getting into/out of the city.

Tender Shoot Farm on Newark Ave (2 mins from Grove St PATH) is a nice enough place for a quick grocery trip. There is another fruit/vegetable market down the road as well (on 2nd St).

Its a 13-15 min walk to the Grove PATH from Crescent Ct. In the evening while going home, I walk on 1st st off of Newark. 1st is a nicer residential street compared to Newark and then 2nd.....

The condo building is very beautiful and the work done is of pretty decent quality. The immediate surroundings are pretty decent as well (Colgate/2nd st, etc). While walking to the Grove St PATH, certain stretches on Newark Ave are dicey. Newark Ave is not always clean and you will come across a few homeless people, people just hanging out on the street for no reason.
Having said that, overall, walking on Newark shouldn't be an issue, of course after say 10 or 11 pm, I would not walk alone. Lots of businesses on that road, so there is always foot traffic. Other comparables - Saffron, Wave, etc just don't have that final finish that Crescent Ct has. And because of that, it has an edge, despite the so-so neighborhood. Saffron/Wave is right on Newark, Crescent Ct is at least tucked away in a quiet corner (with the windows closed, the Holland tunnel extension noise is a non-issue). Would definitely recommend buying here .... I did !!!
