I have always considered the projects to start at 4th and Jackson and go as far north as 6th and Jackson. I have sold homes all along Monroe Street in Hoboken in the a hot sellers market and in the current one. There are some fantastic deals along that street as supply is extremely high right now in that specific area. One thing I always tell my buyers in any area is that they must be comfortable in their surroundings. In the past with homes on Jackson and Monroe street I'll simulate a typical situation they can expect to have while living there. For instance, assuming you work or travel to Manhattan frequently, I've always found it to be a good idea for my clients to meet me at the PATH Train between 8-9pm and then we'll walk to the prospective property. If they're not comfortable during or after the walk, then I advise them to focus on other properties or locations..

One thing I do want to point out is that many people associate a stigma with living on Monroe or Jackson Street, but the reality is that if you lived on 5th and Jefferson you are just as close, if not closer, to the Projects compared to if you lived on 1st and Jackson.

The Low income Housing is located between 3rd and 5th on Jackson St ...As to how bad or good....I'd recommend following the police blotter in the Hoboken Reporter and or Google for the most accurate information on this question. In my personal experience I’ve never had a challenge in this area of town. We've listed and sold many properties on Jackson and Monroe St with great response from the customers.

As to Buying on 6th and Monroe St.....Depends on the deal...?

Is the unit new or recently renovated?
Does it have parking?
Does it have a gym?
How much is it per square foot?

Final question... Can you find a property with similar and or better amenities in a better/ more centralized location in Hoboken?

Here is a good property to use as a comparison in the Adams Square Project on 501 Adams St, Hoboken NJ http://(www.adamssquare.com )

2 Bedrooms 2 baths over 1000 Sqf, Prices Starting in low $400K's
3 Bedrooms 2 baths over 1375 SqF Prices starting in the mid 500k"s

Three bedroom Homes Feature Granite Countertops, Tile Backsplash, Stainless Steal Appliances, White Carrera Marble vanity tops & Premium chrome fixtures, Bedrooms have Vaulted Ceilings.

Two bedroom homes are "moderately" renovated keeping the price points below Mid 400k's and allowing the first time buyer and young couples the ability to renovate over time and customize the units to their personal tastes and desires..

All Units come with access to Parking & Building is equipped w/Fitness Center, Laundry Room, and Elevator & Court Yard.

Ellen, the Adams Square project is just one example of numerous great values in today’s Hoboken real estate market. Though I am bias toward the Adams Square Project, since taking over as the “Exclusive marketing director and sales agent” for the project we’ve listed, sold and closed on six units in less than four and half months!

Lastly, whether you’re interested in finding out more in regard how the 6th and Monroe St property stacks up, the Adams Square project, numerous other great deals or just want to chat…Call or email me immediately ..
