I am so happy to see Bridgewater Commons coming to life again! I grew up a stone's throw away from…read morethis mall, had many an after school hang out here, had my first date EVER here, had lots of shopping trips here of course... It holds a special place in my heart. The past few years, it felt like a ghost town walking around. There was so many closings, no stores I was excited to go to, it was just not on my radar. But it really does feel like it's having a renaissance! I stopped in last week to make a few returns and was so excited to see so many new stores and a mall full of shoppers. From Pottery Barn, Vera Bradley, Jcrew, a brand new Anthro, and so many other noteworthy shops. I left with a few bags in hand. If you miss your mall shopping days as much as I do, Bridgewater Commons is officially back and worth a visit.

This department store is a solid, reliable stop when shopping at the mall. It has a wide selection…read moreof clothing, shoes, home goods, and accessories, making it easy to knock out multiple shopping needs in one place. The store is generally well-organized, with clear sections and helpful signage, and most items are easy to find without wandering too much. Staff interactions were mostly positive--available when needed without being pushy. Checkout was smooth, and there were decent sales running, which always helps make the visit feel worthwhile. A few areas could use improvement. Some sections felt a bit crowded or outdated, and inventory in certain sizes or styles was hit or miss. During busier times, lines can build up quickly, especially at customer service. Overall, it's a dependable department store that does what it's supposed to do. Not flashy, but convenient, practical, and a good anchor store for the mall.

Weekends are absolutely packed here, but during the week is the best time to go cause you can actually take your time and avoid the hustle and bustle of all the people. Another thing to mention is that a movie theater is right out in the back so if you wanna go check something out in theaters, everything is made very convenient for everyone.

At the very least, you stand a chance at getting decent deals and more bang for your buck! Outlet stores like Adidas, Nike, Coach, etcetera have usually have worthwhile bargains throughout the year, maybe even especially during holiday season. Parking is never scarce, but it still depends on what days/times you go. Not a big fan of their food court, but there is an adjacent movie theater.

Ahh, this strip mall has been around for a really long time, even longer before I was born in the…read moreextreme early 90s. When I was a little toddler in Garwood, my dad would take me out here just to walk around. There was an "open space" area with visible steel structures where I used to just run around briefly during those times. Today, that "open space" is still there. This strip mall has two anchor stores. Since the early 90s, those anchor stores were Walgreens and Kings. During the 90s, they had some other notable stores that I remember either going into or passed by when I was little. Those stores included Radio Shack, Encore Books (I bet a lot of you during those times remember this store!), Dress Barn, an Eye DR place, a liquor store, and a laundromat. The roof tops on the strip mall were green, and some green circles were visible on some parts of the strip mall as well. The parking lot is huge, and reasonably sized for all of the patrons here. The parking lot is also for patrons only, since they don't like commuters parking for the purpose of boarding trains. In the 90s, the parking area revealed a lot of old, faded parking stripes and designs, which proved that the parking layout was different long before I existed. But fast forward to today, the old parking decals are long gone, and the lot itself is quite smoother than before. Today, the stores that are still in business since the 90s include Kings, Dress Barn, an Eye Dr place (with different name), and a laundromat. Encore Books was gone and the space was probably taken over by Pet Valu. Walgreens moved further down the road, and Crunch Fitness took their former spot, thus making them an anchor. The liquor store got replaced by GNC. The steel structures were covered up in the "open space" area. The roof tops are still green today, as well as the circles, except for the one circle on top of Investors Bank. Not sure why that was painted with a different color. Overall, this strip mall serves the purpose of catering to the patrons in a very small town. I've never had an issue with parking here at all. Walking from one end of the strip mall to the other is pleasant. But be patient when trying to make a left turn into the strip mall from South Avenue as the opposing traffic can be very hectic at times. Cheers!

Everyone was very friendly and open to discussing the specs on each car. You can look but you can't touch. The car that fascinated me the most based on how it runs was the black Tesla Model S. You don't have a gas tank, it doesn't need oil changes, he only changed the brakes one time in 7 years and it runs on a charge. You only add windshield wiper fluid every so often. There's two trunks; one in the front and one at the rear. Just a crazy car. The other Tesla next to it had a 360 camera that activates even while the car is locked. If someone tries to key your car or break In a notification is sent to your phone and you can view the person in real time. It also records who ever is near the vehicle. -_- no need for Viper alarms. ~Galloping Hill Cruisers~

You can literally spend the whole day here because of all the stores, restaurants, and theatre. I give it four stars because the place could be a little neater and not have the parking lot littered with trash. All in all, not a bad place to go to if you want to do some shopping without driving far.

The greatest thing about this shopping center is that it's never ever crowded. It's alway easy to…read morefind a good parking spot, and none of the stores ever have waits or lines. I feel like because it's a bit further back (on the border of Hoboken / JC) there is way less of a crowd then the JC shopping center with Shop Rite. Even though Shop-Rite is closer to my house, I mainly food shop here because shop-rite is always a crowded zoo. The supermarket used to be an A&P, but recently switched over to Acme. I also hit up Pier 1 from time to time, and just like everything else in this shopping center, it's rarely crowded which is really nice. Other stores include Best Buy, a beauty supply store and a couple of fast food options. I wish that there was something healthier to eat, because your only choices are a Popeyes or a Papa Johns. But, definitely not a big deal. There aren't too many shopping centers in Jersey City and it's nice to have this as an option!

Parking is usually okay, although you have to walk a little ways to get to the stores as it is an old-style mall, so in the winter it is no fun at all.
