The Hamilton park section of Jersey City is bordered to the north by the termination of interstate 78 and the entrance to the Holland tunnel. The park intersects Jersey Avenue at 8th street and is a block wide and two blocks long. The neighborhood is made up mostly of two and three story red brick houses and brownstones, many of which are part of the Hamilton Park Historical District.

Jersey Avenue has some small shops and services including a small C-Town grocery, laundry mats, and other useful things. The nearest PATH station is Pavonia / Newport just across Marin Boulevard, or on the lower street numbers, Grove Street Path station.
