It can depend on your preferences. I think the brownstones in downtown around grove street are equally as nice as the ones in Brooklyn. They both are very diverse in the types of neighborhoods that exist. I tried to lay out why I think JC > Brooklyn in the rest of the post, when I said nice I meant it in an overall sense.

Brooklyn similarly to jersey city has its nice areas and not so nice areas. I think a major pro for jersey in general is that it’s safer. “Nice” is definitely subjective. I personally adore Brooklyn but wouldn’t leave jersey for it. Just personal preference.
