While many Americans are just learning about Jersey City from the comic book and Disney+ Ms. Marvel series, the city is the second-largest city in New Jersey and part of the New York Metro area. A museum of Soviet non-conformist art and a monument to the Katyn Massacre testify to the city being a refuge for Eastern Bloc immigrants and large Indian, Filipino, and Arab communities also call the city home today. Jersey City residents are rightly proud of their city’s diversity and their unique culture apart from their big brother across the river.
Enjoying the lively culture and living so close to Manhattan comes at a cost, though. While cheaper than in New York, the average rent is close to $4,000 a month and home prices are eye-wateringly high at $690K. Living in Jersey City will mean downsizing for most residents.
Thankfully, there are plenty of self-storage options in and around Jersey City. Plenty of facilities mean it’s easy to find one near you and units are likely more affordable than you think. Don’t let storage be what holds you back from moving to this truly Marvel-ous town.
