JERSEY CITY -- The "uniqueness" of Jersey City is what makes it a more attractive place for former Brooklynites than other places along the Hudson County Waterfront, according to the city's new deputy mayor.

Marcos Vigil, speaking to a group of investors and developers at a recent real-estate summit at Maritime Parc, said the distinctive neighborhoods found in Jersey City make it a more attractive place for New York expats than, say, Hoboken.
