Jersey City ZIP Codes

Each ZIP code covers one or more neighborhoods. Property counts and median sale prices from our database of recorded transactions.

Property counts are approximate. Some addresses straddle ZIP boundaries. Data from Jersey City tax records and Hudson County deed records.

The largest and most expensive ZIP code in Jersey City. 07302 covers most of Downtown — from the waterfront towers at Harborside and Exchange Place to the landmarked brownstone districts of Hamilton Park, Van Vorst Park, and Paulus Hook. This is where the glass skyline meets 19th-century rowhouses. Five PATH stations serve this ZIP, and the NY Waterway ferry runs from Paulus Hook to Lower Manhattan in 8 minutes.

Key stat: Average property tax is $31,668/year — the highest in JC, driven by high-value condos and commercial properties. Tax abatements are common in newer buildings.

The second-largest ZIP by property count, covering two of JC's six main neighborhoods. Bergen-Lafayette is rapidly developing — prices up 143% per sqft since 2015 — driven by proximity to Downtown and the light rail. The West Side includes Marion, Lincoln Park, and the area around West Side Avenue. This is the most diverse part of an already diverse city.

Key stat: Median sale $600K, making it meaningfully more affordable than Downtown's $925K while being just one light rail stop away.

Greenville covers the southern third of Jersey City, from Society Hill and Port Liberte (gated waterfront community) to South Greenville's residential blocks. It has the lowest average property taxes in JC at $9,928/year and some of the most affordable housing. Port Liberte is the outlier — a planned community with its own ferry service and prices that rival Downtown.

Key stat: 11,493 properties — the third-largest area by count, and the most affordable for first-time buyers outside of Port Liberte.

07306 is centered on Journal Square — the busiest PATH station outside Manhattan, India Square's restaurant row, City Hall, and the county courthouse. It also covers the southern edge of The Heights, including parts of the Western Slope. This ZIP has seen the strongest price appreciation in JC: 184% per sqft since 2015, fueled by new towers and the dining scene around Newark Avenue.

Key stat: $590K median sale with a 1.49% effective tax rate — lower than Downtown's 2.34%.

The Heights sits atop the Palisades, with dramatic views of Manhattan from its eastern edge. 07307 covers most of the neighborhood — Hudson City (the commercial core around Central Avenue), Waverly, Palisade, Reservoir, and the northern reaches. Pre-war houses, Art Deco apartments, and a Walk Score of 91 make it popular with families and commuters who want more space than Downtown at a lower price.

Key stat: $800K median sale and $13,836/year average tax — roughly half of Downtown's tax burden.

The smallest residential ZIP code in JC by area, but one of the densest. 07310 covers the Newport master-planned development — a cluster of high-rise residential towers with a mall, its own PATH station, and the Hoboken border. Nearly all properties here are condos in buildings constructed after 1986. Newport Centre Mall is the commercial anchor.

Key stat: ~2,300 properties, almost entirely condos. Many buildings have tax abatements that expire within the next decade — a major buyer consideration.
