Liberty Harbor

Hmm, a post talking about how great the sales people are.

And a whole new thread talking about the great security.

And a link to the Liberty Harbor website.

Do you smell something? Because I think I smell a big steamy pile of shilling.

I only linked the website so that people knew where to go to find it if they didn't already know- it only takes two seconds to link so I didn't see it as a big deal. And like I posted earlier, I don't have a lot of time to go around a look at places since I work a lot and have a far commute into the city. These condos would be really convenient for me and I wanted responses of the pros and cons so I didn't go into the decision too blindly.

Liberty Harbor

$1/2 million for a 1BR is a "decent price" in a neighborhood that is certainly up and coming but will be years before arrival? Plus it's more than a stroll to the Grove PATH and you'd have to rely on the light rail to get to Exchange - unless you use the Turnpike each day to commute, it's hardly as convenient as lower-priced options east.

My wife and I looked at LHN and it was impressive. I particularly loved the building facades and technology, but the two 1BRs we looked at (last Spring) were $505k and $510k. Too much, too far, and too many pushy salespeople and the on-site financier guy was greasier than a fried funnel cake fried in fried oil at Great Adventure on a hot day.

While I reject this thread since it is all based on FRAUD, I still want to respond...

LHN is a casual walk to the Grove PATH station. Like 8 minutes tops. Plus on a nice day, it's a great walk to the Exchange PATH. And what's wrong with having to take the light rail if you don't feel like walking?

As for the neighborhood, it is literally across the street from an already-booming neighborhood called Van Vorst Park, and it borders another booming neighborhood called Paulus Hook.

Okay, so some of the new fancytown elements of LHN might be under construction for a while, but it's incorrect to position it like it's in the boonies or an underdeveloped location.

I have heard similar complaints about the sales people though. Lots of people have been turned off by them, which is a shame.

I read a few postings that people have paid downwards of $400k for a brownstone, which really is a decent price being so close to the city since I work in Manhattan and having the features they say they have included- maybe that pricing is incorrect but that's why I am inquiring about it. I work a lot so I don't have a lot of time to go check out all the condos in NJ available so I was hoping to get some insight by how people respond.

Either way, the responses have been helpful in their own way and if anyone else has any suggestions or comments, I would love to hear them. Thanks!

Liberty Harbor safety

Newbie

I was pleased to find out that Liberty Harbor North has security cameras all over the property- out on the street, in the garage, in the lobby, and so on that you can check from the site once you're a resident. They also have a receptionist that announces visitors and does not let people lurk around the area. This makes me feel quite safe, especially since I am seriously considering these condos in Jersey City.
