A Victorian across the street (give or take a house) from the mayors place on Ogden was just demolished for new construction. Walking by, I hoped that since the view from his house will suffer, perhaps motivation to stop the ugly would follow.

How can you not list the price with this very long ad/description of your property? Annoying.

Take a right onto Bowers. Sorry. I walk my dog in Riverview park after dark all the time and feel safe unless it's later, as I said

Griffith isn't pretty and there are sketchies but I've lived here over 15 years (female) and never had a problem. I never feel unsafe and I go to 5 star liquor all the time. Just don't do it late at night. Nothing good happens anywhere at 2 am or later. If it really creeps you out then walk down Sherman and take a left onto Bower street to get to Palisade. Don't think that's necessary though. I used to live at 120--the buildings come a long way

I'm looking forward to this going up also but I REALLY hope they put in a restaurant with a liquor license. It would do so much for the area to have a nice place to go for brunch or something, right there. I heard that "The Oasis" has been, unofficially for sale for years now but is way too expensive. How great though, if it got a makeover, as well.

Honda Fit. See a lot of them around here. Less than $17,000 out the door and they are very well reviewed. This is what we will get when our current car goes.

Please someone recommend a roofer (flat roof). What about Capital Roofing? There used to be good reviews for them apart from difficulty getting them to actually show up? Anyone else?

It is really is cute inside too. The couple selling are neighbors/friends who just had a baby and want to live near the shore. It's on Sherman very close to the corner of Bower. There are trees and friendly neighbors in this very nice little pocket of Sherman.

This place in the heights looks cute and has outdoor space. That's a nice block and near Ogden and the park.

They'll probably more than double. What 2.1 percent of $600,000? I'm curious how accurate these appraisals will be. Are they going to come in at an exaggerated number or do they go off of Zillow sales comps plus condition of the house?

You're lumping the east side of the Heights with downtown. Wow. I must have missed something and I've been in the heights for over a decade. "Mod Cup" and "Dark Side of the Moo" and a nice farmer's market don't change the hood that much. The mayor lives on Ogden with a view of the city--that street has always been a gentrified island in this area. I doubt very much that my place is worth $700,000 or more.

User111, didn't you just write in another thread that your place just appraised at $288,000 (thank god for the light rail) so your taxes would be just over $6,000 which is definitely a grand less than you're paying now but not $3,000.

You've lost 8 pounds a week for the last 3 weeks. This to me, is VERY dramatic and trumps all the other symptoms. If you aren't exaggerating, any decent doctor should be alarmed by that alone. Are not eating? Are you not keeping it down? I'd focus on the weight loss aspect. To lose that much, you'd pretty much have to be not eating at all.

New restaurant in the Heights on Bower--Dark Side of the Moo

I just had a veggie burger here last night. It was really good. I guess they sell all kinds of fancy meats like kangaroo and alligator but my burger had black beans in it and it was spicy and really good. They used to have a food truck in Hoboken, I think. It's nice to see that little space on Bower come to life. It's right near Palisade and Riverview Park. Let's hope they do well!

Re: Is Jersey City Real Estate in a bubble?

An attached one-family with parking on Summit near Lincoln just sold for $550,00. It's renovated but only 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths and the backyard is more like a small courtyard not particularly pretty. That seems like a lot to me. But it's cool because I've been waiting over 12 years for the Heights to take off (the Riverview area--now an arts district is where I've holed up waiting and waiting for gentrification...and waiting...

It does have parking--for over 3 cars. It also has an elevator. I picture a wealthy family--one with several olderish kids--renting here. They've got the pool, the view, the elevator, the parking, a lot of bedrooms. This set-up would cost a fortune in the city. It's just such a specific target market. Dixon is getting bolder and bolder.

I have a vivid 1989 bubble story. I lived in a Victorian (not renovated) on the water in Branford Ct (rented). It went up for sale in 1989 for one million dollars. It sat on the market for 6 years and slowly dropped it's price down to $350,000 in 1995. SOLD. Today it worth well over a million dollars again.

Brewster--does your silence mean that you were not happy with the job? My roof is at the end of it's life span and I can't deal with the head games of appointment making with Capital Roof so I have zip right now. It's a huge investment and this aspect of the construction business is even more shady than the usual suspects. Feedback is needed. I have a flat roof.

You should not be paying for any of these things. Wow. You're being taken advantage of by your landlord. It's his responsibility to upkeep the place and make it safe and habitable, not yours. You should get all the money you gave him back. The only time that I could see you paying is if you directly broke something by mistake. It also sounds like the building isn't safe structurally. I have an old Victorian and if I had my doorways behaving that way it would freak me out. If your landlord gives you a hard time then I would get out and find another place.

Last week, my husband and I noticed a nice young couple sitting on the front steps and coming and going from the 2 family near our house. We thought they had rented the place but they were tourists here from Quebec for the week--going into the city every morning to see all the sights--from Jersey City Heights!
The building belongs to Dixon. They paid cash and got the place for $90,00 below market a few years ago and their tenants have been nice but never stayed more than a year. This, I don't like....

The Kitchen Cousins are cute but if you caught any of their earlier episodes you'd run in HORROR from them--especially if you own an historic home. They went into this poor women's kitchen and against her adament wishes, removed a gorgeous and valuable chest built that the owner loved and then they SPRAY PAINTED HER original 1920's subway tiled wall LAVENDER! Then they hung a work light and spraypainted that lavender too! WTF!!!!

Well I'll miss your lovely optimistic sunny face Monday morning vind-guy. I have a good nose and the jitney's I've been on do not smell and the bus drivers of the 87, the 123 etc are WAY MORE SCARY in their speeding--I mean driving habits than the jitneys. I've never seen one that I've been on do anything wrong driving-wise. It must be tough to navigate New York if you're that afraid of speeding because you must avoid all NYC cabs as well.
I believe in statistics but show me statistics for the Riverview area of the Heights specifically and then I'll take heed.

A death machine that smells of urine? Really? First, they don't smell and they're not dangerous but I suppose you never take the subway either because THAT smells like urine. And I suppose you must avoid walking down the streets of midtown in humid August when EVERYTHING smells like garbage. Maybe you're not cut out for urban living.

I am not lying about 30 minutes door to desk. THE JITNEY IS ALWAYS 20 MINUTES TOTAL AT THE HEIGHT OF RUSH HOUR. Today, I caught the 8:30 and arrived 3 minutes before 9 am. My offices happen to be at 40th and Broadway. The jitney lets me out at 40th and 8th avenue. My house is a 4 minute walk to the park. . Getting home takes 5 minutes longer. I leave the office at 5 and am home at 5:35. The jitneys go straight thru the bus lane and avoid all that traffic.

I'm specifically speaking of the Riverview area of the Heights so screw your averages and your statistics. The heights will be worth more because they have further to go than downtown. People used to say the sun never shines in Hoboken. Brownstones sold for $50,000 in the 70's. It takes time but being pioneering gentrifier requires patience.
