==== Greenville ==== [[Greenville, Jersey City|Greenville]] is on the south end of Jersey City. In the 2010s, the neighborhood underwent a revitalization.<ref>[https://jerseydigs.com/gsecdcs-home-ownership-initiative-is-revitalizing-greenville/ "GSECDC's Home Ownership Initiative Is Revitalizing Greenville One Home at a Time"],. Jersey Digs, July 5, 2017.</ref> Considered an affordable neighborhood in the New York City area, a number of [[Ultra-Orthodox Jews]] and young families purchased homes and built a substantial community there, attracted by housing that costs less than half of comparable homes in New York City.<ref>[[Joseph Berger (author)|Berger, Joseph]]. [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/02/nyregion/ultra-orthodox-jews-hasidim-new-jersey.html "Uneasy Welcome as Ultra-Orthodox Jews Extend Beyond New York"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', August 2, 2017. Accessed November 13, 2019. "Jersey City β To the gentrifying stew of bankers, artists and college graduates who are transforming this once blue-collar city across the Hudson River from Manhattan, add an unexpected flavor. In a heavily African-American neighborhood, 62 families from a number of Hasidic sects based in Brooklyn and rarely seen here have bought a scattering of faded but roomy wood-frame rowhouses whose prices are less than half what homes of similar size would cost in New York β roughly $300,000 compared with $800,000."</ref> In a [[2019 Jersey City shooting|December 2019 shooting incident]], three bystanders were killed in a kosher market in Greenville. The two assailants, who had earlier killed a police detective, were also shot and killed.<ref>Gold, Michael; and Watkins, Ali. [https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/11/nyregion/jersey-city-shooting.html "Suspect in Jersey City Linked to Black Hebrew Israelite Group; The Black Hebrew Israelites have been labeled a hate group. The suspect wrote anti-Semitic and anti-police posts, an official said."], ''[[The New York Times]]'', December 11, 2019. Accessed May 5, 2020. "An assailant involved in the prolonged firefight in Jersey City, N.J., that left six people dead, including one police officer, was linked on Wednesday to the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, and had published anti-Semitic posts online, a law enforcement official said. The violent rampage on Tuesday took place largely at a kosher supermarket where three bystanders were killed.... The shootout and police siege overtook the Greenville neighborhood of gentrifying Jersey City β the second most-populous city in New Jersey, with about a quarter of a million residents."</ref>
