An "informed but informal" place to find real estate information
If you want to buy a single family or multi-family but can't find what you are looking for in Hoboken, the next step in the surrounding area would be Weehawken or Jersey City. While the homes in Weehawken are beautiful, especially the ones on the Boulevard East with breathtaking views of NYC,clients sometimes prefer more of a "neighborhood" atmosphere. There is also less commuting options to NYC (no path train). So another option for a more urban atmosphere would be Jersey City - the Heights, Hamilton Park, Van Vorst Park or Paulus Hook. Paulus Hook is wonderful, close to the waterfront; train, bus or ferry to NYC and a good selection of restaurants & shops nearby. These reasons plus others make this a desireable place to live yet the supply is limited and prices tend to be higher than other parts of Jersey City. This narrows the search down to Hamilton Park and Van Vorst Park neighborhoods. There is more to choose from in Hamilton Park vs Van Vorst, and a wider range of price points. Today's search will bring me to a 4-family on Varick Street listed for $899,900 - can't wait to see this one as that street is so pretty & and prices are usually much higher. We are also looking at a 3-family on 4th Street for $980,000; a 2-family on Erie Street for $875,000 and some new construction on Montgomery Street and 4th Street.
We've seen two properties near the Embankment, one was on 6th Street, a 3-family for $949,000 and the other was on 3rd Street (off of Erie) for $799,000. Although these prices sound high, these type of properties (multi-family in good condition) in this price range are very difficult to find in Hoboken which has an even more limited supply at higher prices. You get a much better selection of condo's in Hoboken in a variety of prices. So the search continues, looking forward to another day in JC.
