Pauline's Chocolates, Hoboken

Published Jul 31, 2008 by Judy Marciano.




Many years ago in Hoboken, I used to enjoy the amazing homemade ice's at Lepore's Chocolate Store on the corner of 6th & Garden. Unfortunately they no longer make the ices but of course, they still have some very delicious chocolates to choose from. But if you'd like to discover another special icecream or Italian ice in Hoboken, you can try Pauline's Chocolates at 207 Jefferson Street in Hoboken. Not everyone knows that this chocolate store also carries a wide variety of icecream and Italian ice. Definitely worth checking out on one of these hot summer days! (and after you have an icecream, buy some of the chocolates to take home, it's so fresh and they even have chocolate covered potato chips).

Aquablu - Jersey City Rentals

Published Jul 19, 2008 by Judy Marciano.



My husband and I happened to be right next to the construction site at the new rental development in the Newport area of Jersey City while they were lifting a pre-done brick wall for the building.  Great timing, it was really fascinating to watch.  This rental building will consist of 355 residential units plus 34,610 sq ft of commercial space.  Expected completion is next year.

Miles For Smiles - Party With Purpose

Published Jul 16, 2008 by Judy Marciano.


Yesterdays race was a huge success! It was the biggest race ever...over 700 entries into the race and about 300 people came to the happy hour afterwards at Trinity and Queys. And the kids had a great time too...the clown, face painting, games, races and Empire tatoo's.

A big thanks to all the volunteers and congratulations to the runners.

Morton Williams, Jersey City

Published Jul 14, 2008 by Judy Marciano.




A few days ago, a new gourmet supermarket opened in the Newport area of Jersey City. I had the opportunity to check it out today with my husband for lunch. Morton Williams, located at 105 River Drive has a great selection of prepared hot & cold foods, fresh fish, sushi, cheese, bakery goods as well as all the regular grocery type of products that you might need. You can do some shopping and buy something to eat right away and either sit in a table outside (by the elephant fountains) or sit at a table inside. Worth checking out, www.mortonwilliams.com. It's a family owned business with several other locations in NYC, I think this might be their first one in New Jersey.

Hoboken properties "under contract"

Published Jul 12, 2008 by Judy Marciano.

In the Hudson County MLS, the word "dabo" refers to deposit accepted by owner, which means that the property has an offer and acceptance and is "under contract". Usually the listing agent will not notify the MLS that a property is under contract until it is officially out of attorney review. And typically the property is continued to be shown until attorney review is concluded. Please see below for an inventory of dabo'd properties in Hoboken. The average price is referring to the list price, not sold price. The sold price is not disclosed and entered into the MLS until the property officially closes.

studio = 6 units
ave. price = $303,816

one bedroom = 73 units
ave. price = $427,507

two bedroom = 117 units
ave. price = $638,569

three bedroom = 8 units
ave. price = $804,162

four bedroom = 1 unit
ave price = $4,500,000
(this property is at the W Hotel and consists of 4273 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and 2 "other" rooms)

one family = 8 units
ave. price = $1,419,000

two family = 6 units
ave. price = $1,273,666

three family = 2 units
ave. price = $1,149,500

Party With Purpose (PWP) is getting ready for their annual 5K race along the Hoboken waterfront. The event is planned for July 15th and they are looking for volunteers. I've volunteered for the last few years and it's a really great event which benefits the Hoboken Boys and Girls Club and Jubilee Center. Pre-registration for the runners is already up about 30% from last year. To learn more about volunteering or to register for the race, you can visit www.PartyWithPurpose.org.
Hope to see you there.

Hoboken condo's $300,000 - $425,000

Published Jul 6, 2008 by Judy Marciano.


In an effort to help my Hoboken buyers in the $300,000 to $425,000 range, I went through the Hudson County MLS tonight and went over the current inventory in detail which I will share with you.  The criteria that I used is active listings from $300,000 to $425,000 with a minimum of 500 sq ft and at least one bedroom (didn't want any studio's).  This is what I discovered:
76 units available that meet this criteria.
65 of the 76 are one bedrooms
11 of the 76 are two bedrooms
7 of 76 include parking
21 of 76 have central air
37 of 76 have laundry in the unit
12 of 76 are in an elevator building
Size is as follows:
500-600 sq ft = 30 
601-700 sq ft = 27
701-800 sq ft = 16
over 800 sq ft = 3
None of the above were in the waterfront hi-rise buildings.
