PATH Train Will Continue Running Service At Night

The PATH train with service to and from New York to Hoboken and Jersey City will continue running it's overnight service after the controversial proposal to cut service was announced last week.

In a statement released today on the Hoboken City's website - Mayor Zimmer said this:

On January 14, 2014, Senate President Steve Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto announced that they had secured a commitment from Port Authority Chairman John Degnan to indefinitely table plans to eliminate overnight PATH service.

“I thank Chairman Degnan for listening to our voices and for taking the idea of PATH overnight service cuts off the table,” said Mayor Dawn Zimmer. “With 56% of Hoboken residents using public transportation to commute each day – the highest rate not just in the state, but in the nation – the success of our community and region is intrinsically linked to a robust mass transit system. Going forward, we should be focused on ideas to expand, not cut public transportation options within our region.”

Phew that was close! Certainly shutting down overnight service could have been detrimental to the economic health of both sides of the river. So glad that this potential crisis was averted and quickly! PATH goer's rejoice!

Hoboken Apartment In Great Downtown Location

This beautiful apartment just became available today! It's in a terrific downtown location just minutes to the PATH train and steps away from bars, restaurants and convenience stores! Take a look for yourself! I sold this condo to my client a few years ago and when she bought it - it looked like 1980's Miami Vice. It had flamingo pink and turquoise cabinetry in the kitchen and matching tile and vanity in the bath! Look at it now! She did such an amazing job - I'm so proud of her! 

First she refinished the hardwood floors, which if yours are not laminate is pretty inexpensive to do and makes a huge statement and can give you a great return on your investment and add instant value to your home. Here you can see they are stained a really nice, warm dark walnut color with a gloss finish. 

Next she installed all new white cabinetry to keep with the bright feel of the unit. Natural light pours in from the floor to ceiling window in living room so white was a great choice. She then picked a dark granite counter top to provide contrast and stainless steel fixtures. For a custom look she added a gorgeous custom tile backsplash of a miniature brick style Carrera marble stone tile work that looks gorgeous. This is a great way to make your kitchen special. You can save money and salvage your cabinets and just update your counter and add a custom backsplash! Many times you'll get the same effect and looks like a new kitchen. 

Lastly, she kept with the same marble and she decided to to go with a subway style brick pattern inside the shower. Her old pink tile used to reach half way up the walls outside of the tub and all around the toilet and vanity. To save money I advised her to not run the tile through and just paint the walls if they were in good condition. Then she chose a 12 by 12 slab for the floors and a matching white vanity with sparkling black granite top. The place looks beautiful!!

And - it's available starting May 15th or June 1 with the option to rent it fully furnished for a short or long term rental. If you're interested please call me or email me! I'm looking for a great tenant for her. Sorry, the building does not allow pets.
