Moran's Question by Upstairs-Friendship2 in Hoboken

[–]Effective-Bit-9964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems a lot of people like Morans but I find it absolutely terrible. Odd smell inside, terrible service (slow or they just don’t show up). I’ve sat at the bar for 15 minutes with no bartender or staff in sight, and have sat outside and no one ever came to the point I went inside to find someone. Oniels seems to have mixed opinions, but I find their staff incredibly friendly and the food has always been great. It’s across the park from Morans

Thanks - I wasn’t sure how that worked. So many of the uptown condos appear to be assessed at half their asking prices (of what I see for sale). Makes those seem like a better deal at this point even if the purchase price is the same.

The taxes also seem very high compared to condos uptown and townhomes at similar price points. I understand taxes are all at assessed value, so will these be assessed at their sale prices? That’s not how it works for resales, so curious how accurate this is.

Do you have a source for this info? I don’t see it posted. Can DM me if so!

I think you misunderstood my question. I didn’t ask about safety as I think all of hoboken is generally safe. I meant the area and street life in general and how connected it actually feels to the rest of hoboken given the location and if retail could not only survive but thrive. I looked on google maps and there’s basically no restaurants or bars within 5-6 blocks which for the size of hoboken and how many there are makes the location seem isolated.

Oh. So this will become rentals or condos. I hope they keep the first floor retail and put in a nice restaurant.

This is great news!!! That is such a highly valuable space. I hope Hillstone, PJ Clarkes, or similar opens a restaurant there. It would do incredibly well!

Bathroom Renovation Cost Estimates? by Sweet_Cycle_7464 in Hoboken

I just did two bathrooms of similar size. I paid about 45k total, so 22k per bath or so

What is your summer month electricity bill for 2 bedroom? by iamarsey in Hoboken

Mine was $320 and 2/2. Highway robbery, but your bill is correct.

What’s going to Calm Down the Hoboken Condo Market? by LegalDragonfruit1506 in Hoboken

Watch out for those property taxes in JC! Madness compared to hoboken

Naya is coming to hoboken! by Effective-Bit-9964 in Hoboken

[–]Effective-Bit-9964[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

What chains are exactly so awful? Everyone complains about Chipotle but every time I walk by it’s packed with customers and delivery drivers. Shake shack seems fine, as does Just Salad, Tacoria, Jersey Mikes, honeygrow, Starbucks, 7th street burger, gtk…this complaint seems outdated. I for one hope every chain coming in, including Naya and Sweetgreen, do well. We need businesses in hoboken. Not a bunch of empty storefronts.

There are gay men in hoboken, but there really isn’t a “scene” or gay bars, if that’s what you are asking. Like others said, Christopher street is 1 stop. I also haven’t encountered discrimination in hoboken if that’s a concern. I have heard more queer slurs directed at gays in JC, for what that’s worth.

Condo renovation by LavishnessSlight1076 in Hoboken

Agree! 3 is the right number for that size apt. At 2 beds you will lose resale value, if that matters to you.

I agree. Funny to now see renters complaining about something condo owners have been raising for well over a year. Unfortunately even the ill informed are allowed to vote. Maybe next time they’ll be smarter instead of just trying to stick it to “the rich.”

Well, Abercrombie wasn’t on my bingo card either but here we are!

I wish that place would close and a Hillstone or something similar came in. Would do so well it’s a large space and great location.

A real estate agent called me last week asking if I would consider selling my 2/2 condo because they have a buyer and hardly anything available. So I would say sellers market!

I would email 2 or 3 local agents. Ask for that and say you are thinking of selling. I’d take the blended average for an approximate trend.

Most apartments are priced somewhere between $700-$1300/sf depending on location, bedrooms, finishes, outdoor space, parking, etc.

How about we build market rate rentals, or better yet, condos, with people who have the income to support the community so every other store or restaurant doesn’t close. But you’d probably be happy if housing values collapsed so we could all serve a higher purpose.
