NY Daily News: Jersey City Heights' star is on the rise

The wave of gentrification that leapfrogged the Hudson a few years back has reached new heights - Jersey City Heights, to be exact.

When banker Yvonne Thevenot saw her family's future home in Jersey City Heights five years ago, the house and the friendly neighbors immediately won her over.

"We just saw ourselves there," said Thevenot, 39, who lives in the Ogden Ave. home with her husband and 5-year-old son. "It has a great view of Manhattan, and there's a lot of space for us."

The Thevenots are part of a wave of young urban professionals sweeping into the Heights, a historically working- and middle-class neighborhood perched on the Palisades just west of Hoboken, once the hot across-the-river destination for folks priced out of the West Side and Brownstone Brooklyn.

No. 10/ 99s Bus Schedule

new schedule The No. 10/ 99s has begun a new schedule with more service on Central Avenue for the morning commute towards the New York City Port Authority Bus Terminal. Commuters on their way to NYC can catch the No. 10/ 99s within the Central Avenue business district at these approximate times: 5:07am, 5:37am, 7:05am, 7:25am, 7:49am, 8:20am, 8:37am, 9:17am, and then 9:47 am. Service to NYC will then be once an hour until the afternoon rush hours. Please be at the bus stop at least five minutes before.

The full new schedule will be posted here as soon as it becomes available.

The short ride of 7:05am & 8:20am service originates from the intersection of Central and Hoboken Avenues (JSQ area) going towards the NYC PABT. Being that this service is a shorter ride, commuters can expect these buses to be consistently on time and reliable as possible.

For previous timetable, please refer to No. 10/ 99s/ X99s schedule Effective Jun 1, 2009.
