Of course, New Jersey is not a borough of New York City. But as much as it is a separate and independent entity, its two northeastern counties bordering the city, Hudson and Bergen, jointly constitute what is essentially New York City's most conveniently-located western suburb. Only a quick PATH (or Ferry) ride separates Jersey City or Hoboken from Manhattan.

Over the past two decades, the Jersey City - Hoboken area in particular has seen robust growth in terms of residential real estate. A substantial percentage of people living in those areas work in New York City, mainly in Manhattan.
