A couple other questions:

I have a fairly nice car and am trying to figure out where I am going to park it. It seems like there are a ton of open spaces in front of Riverview Park (If I can't find one on Ogden btwn Griffith and Franklin). Is this a target area for car thefts? I talked to the police station and they said there is a constantly cop parked on Ogden at night near the basketball courts.

Would I be better off trying to rent a space from a neighbor? If so, what would be a fair rate to offer for the area...

I am going to need someone to maintain my property with regards to snow removal, landscaping.... any good, local suggestions?

If my gf wants to walk from Ogden => Central during the day, what street would you suggest she walks down?

Any good Brazilian restaurants in the heights?

thats all I can think of.

I am a 27yr old white male considering moving from Hoboken to the Heights with my girlfriend in about 3 weeks. I would be on Ogden, btwn Griffith and Franklin.

** I am just looking to get some general information about the area, any help would be great!!**

From the 30 random people I've talked to around Jersey City(cops, hotdog vendor, moes fishing supplies,firemen and a couple randoms), they all say it's a pretty safe neighborhood. Only one person, a street cleaner I stopped on central, claimed it to be a bad area. Is this pretty accurate?

I do not have a parking spot. Do you think I will have trouble parking on the street at night with a permit? Is it safe to park up to 1 block in each direction (including infront of riverview park) and walk down Ogden to my place at night?

Are the Basketball Courts at Riverview park safe to play at?

Where is the best sushi in town?

Cheapest cab to and from hoboken path?

I read a couple places that Franklin and Palasades is a pretty rough area? Is this still true, or has it cleaned up a bit?

Thats all I can think of at the moment. Thanks again!
