If the dudes were in an SUV down by the waterfront on a weekend, there's a very good chance they are from out of town. I live in Hoboken and I don't ever drive to the waterfront. Washington Street is full of out of town fucktards every weekend of the year. Blame it on Hoboken all you want, but if/once downtown JC becomes a destination like Washington St is, there an SUV coming to see you too.

When a lot of new people are moving in to a new building, they may be moving in more than just their furniture. They can be hiding in boxes and couches etc.

Pretty soon, all the Newport commuters will have to ride the train back to Grove or JSQ in order to be able to board a train heading to NYC. While Grove does get crowded at times, I have never not been able to board a train there, but at Newport it is a different story. When all these new developments in JSQ finally get erected, the PATH trains leaving from there will be almost at capacity already.


Or god forbid they walk to Hoboken and take the PATH from there or take the empty WTC to Hoboken line and do the same. I agree, it's going to get ugly when all these building are fully occupied and people will have to get creative about getting to work.

As someone else had predicted, we are starting to see a lot more high-end properties coming online for sale. Perusing the Zillow listings for properties with values of 750+ K in 07302 yields almost 60 hits. I don't remember ever seeing that many listings at once. I wonder how many of those are motivated to to try and sell now because of the reval.


Agreed. For a good example of people paying a fraction of what they would be paying post-reval take a look at 299 Pavonia, the Wells Fargo building near Hamilton Park. A unit there recently went on the market for 1.9 million and the taxes are ridiculously low. They have people who have been there fore decades paying well below 10k in taxes on 2-3000 sf lofts. Won't be surprised to see a lot of those units on the market soon.

What about the landlord who is benefiting from higher rents due to appreciating values? They get a pass on higher taxes until they sell? Market appreciation is cash in hand for them.

But it'd be much fairer to have the taxes on real estate appreciation be paid upon a sale, not before. Market value appreciation is not cash in hand and yet taxes are cash out of pocket.

Looks like ~$24K/year if this is correct:

Where did you see that, I'm seeing this:
Taxes: 9961
Monthly Maintenance Fee: 837

The developers applied for and got a sweeter abatement deal after they began selling the units.

Re: Dealing with noisy rental tenants in a condo

Was there ever a tenant that was tolerable upstairs from you? It may be due to the construction of the building. I had a similar problem at a condo I bought a while back and there was little I could do other than sell it and move. Painful lesson learned: if the building is not steel and concrete don't buy anything but the top floor!

Probably not, the majority of Beacon owners are still under water or sold at a loss. There are still short sales and foreclosures going on there to this day.

I have my doubts about this often repeated theory. It would make perfect sense if we were a self contained market, but we're not. There's tremendous pressure coming from across the river where the rents in Brooklyn and Queens are skyrocketing. Thousands of new units here is a drop in that bucket 32x our size. Now, they're building over there too, but the demand is huge. I can't see the already lower rents here going down without a market wide correction.


The PATH problem is in doubt? Let us see, my pretty! And your little dog too.

The problem with the idea of using it as an AirBnB investment property is that from its location to the region's main attractions (NYC!) is not friendly for out-of-towners that need to rely on public transportation. The reason so many AirBnB and SkyCity Apartments are located all over DTJC is that they are all close (within short walking distance) to convenient mass transit.


It's not that far from the Congress LR and short cab ride to Hoboken PATH, but yeah not optimal. But for that view some people probably wouldn't mind. Epic selfies from the rooftop pool!!

Or some enterprising person could rent it out and then put it on AirBnB for let's say $700-800 a night or just rent rooms by the night and live there for free. Not a bad hotel room for that kind of money. Any takers?

I think you'd be crazy to buy at current prices when there's a real threat your property tax bill might double or triple in the next 5 or so years. Meaning once the reval goes through (Ward E) and if JC loses its Abbott district status (everyone).


Hoboken survived a major tax hike and a reval in the last 5 years. Prices and demand remain strong. I know it not an apples to apples comparison but it's food for thought. Long time residents in single family homes and brownstones had to sell since they could not afford paying 20-30k in taxes but at least they walked away with a boat load of money.

That is not correct. There are several condo projects in the works. In addition to The Oakman (160 First) you have the next two towers going up at Provost Square, which will be condos (apparently both are condos or will include a significant amount of condos) and you have the second Trump building (65 Bay) and the various small projects happening around town: places like The Gannon and the building across from it. Supply is limited now and will continue to be tight, but there will be inventory being added over the next few years.


FYI Trump is going to be rentals not condos

Get an appraisal if you haven't already. If you can rent it out for >= mortgage costs, why not keep it.

Add $2300 in HOA fees to the taxes and you are looking at $6300 /month plus your jumbo mortgage payment (unless you paid cash).

The amazing thing about this place is it is currently assessed
at 185900 and is paying only $13819.81 in taxes. A similar (actually a little smaller) brownstone in Hoboken is paying $26700.

Looks like they're having an "investor day/tour" at 237 Montgomery Str. Initially I thought it was an open house (door open, lady with balloons on stoop), so I asked if I could go in and take a look. Nope, for investors only - most people there are in suits, or shirts with ties.

Apparently, there's a small "carriage house" in the back of the house (sitting at the end of the empty lot next door). It's a 2-bed and and 2-bath. It was renovated by Dixon as well, and will be on the market shortly (separate entrance from 237 MOntgomery).

Imagine how great this whole thing (brownstone up front + carriage house in the back, plus a small yard) would be for a family. DROOLING!!!!!!!!

Folks. Just to put the "we need to nip the problem in the bud" argument to rest, one need only look at Washington Street in Hoboken, arguably 10 years ahead of JC in gentrification. If you take out the banks and phone stores (which can really only be chains), chain stores amount to well under 20% of ALL stores. (I'm happy to share the data with anyone interested.) I would only repeat that this is a solution in search of a problem. Great PR but not a problem.


FYI Office Depot on Washington St (formerly Barnes & Noble) is closing. The people of Hoboken have spoken!
