"avoid this area!"
Jersey Street is in one of the worst neighborhoods on Staten Island. This is a really run-down, high crime area. I made the mistake of driving through looking at cheap apartments, should have known it was too good to be true. I just made sure my doors were locked and drove on through! It just has a really bad feel to it, by the condition of the buildings and streets, they are very run down, lots of vandalism and trash, etc. This is a really bad and unsafe neighborhood, I would not recommend visiting or living here.
