I agree. Craigslist has de facto become a replacement for local newspaper ads, much to the paper owners horror. A large proportion of the rental ads are from brokers. Why would they not go where the affluent eyeballs are? That LeFrak is late to that revelation is no surprise, they seem to prefer to make their own little world rather than respond to feedback of any sort.

Hey ansky, are you a Rutgers guy by any chance? There's someone with a similar name on the Rutgers boards. Sorry for the "off-topic", everybody else.

You have just described Lefrak City. Be careful what you wish for.


or co-op city.

what i hope for isnt quite as garish and sterile.

oh well.

and i dont know if the craigslist thing is a big deal, its just a marked turn for something that was previously desirable.

Well it was 4 years ago so I don't remember exactly which ads I saw where, as I used many sites including Craigslist, apartments.com, rent.net, etc. Honestly I don't see it as a big deal that these luxury apartments are being listed on Craigslist as opposed to any other site.

But I do agree we need more moderately priced housing.

Maybe you should ask this on the NWA list! HaHa

ianmac,

Try 21 years old...first move-ins in Newport's Presidential Plaza (first 4 towers) were 1987.


I meant that their most recent rental buildings are almost ten years old, the Towers of America having been completed 1999, 2000 and 2001. Yes, indeed the other apartment towers are even older.

Well, I was thinking that Newport is starting to age pretty quickly (and not well). If you think about it, the last few buildings they built were offices, and the most recent was condo, which means all of their rentals, the bread and butter of the LeFraks, are nearing 10 years old. Meanwhile, Grove Pointe and Columbus added 1000 rentals to Jersey City, are brand new, and have much better amenities than Newport. But anyway, I was just wondering if I was the only one to notice the ad blitz or not.

If vacancies are rising, why is it happening? Is the cost of rent there outpacing the economy?

I saw an ad for Newport rentals on the PATH one evening a few weeks ago. I think those vacancies are rising, or at least the LeFrak organization is expecting them to, and is trying to stave off a huge jump in them.
