JERSEY CITY -- It's official: Mayor Steve Fulop is a resident of the Heights.

Fulop, 38, closed on the Ogden Avenue home yesterday afternoon. His real-estate agent, Phil Rivo, posted a picture on Facebook of Fulop and his girlfriend, Jaclyn Thompson, on the steps of their new home yesterday afternoon.

Last month the mayor told The Jersey Journal that he "fell in love" with the three-bedroom, single-family home that has three back decks overlooking New York City.

Fulop had previously said he would move to the city's Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood.

Real-estate site Zillow put the price of the home at roughly $739,000. The mayor's annual tax bill will be about $7,700.

Fulop previously lived Downtown. He's the second Jersey City mayor in a row to live in the Heights section -- his predecessor and former political rival, Jerramiah Healy, lives on Ferry Street.
