Real Estate Photo Blog - 77 Hudson Jersey City

77 Hudson Street: Downtown Jersey City - Modern Glass Skyscraper. A view from inside.. congratulations to my buyers for closing on their home! It's sharp and chic, and don't get me started on the amenities in this building - best I've seen in Jersey City & Hoboken.

The spacious, grand yet minimalistic lobby. High ceilings, modern furniture, doorman and high - speed elevatorsA view from inside a 10 line. One of the few left with an actual terrace - all glass, lady Liberty in the background

One of the kitchen choices available at 77 Hudson. My buyers went with super chic all white cabinets with classic Carrera Italian marble and espresso dark hardwood floors..
Notice the fridge, how they've covered the outside to match the seamless look of this modern kitchen.
A view from the terrace. Across is Goldman Sachs building and lot. Just beyond is lower Manhattan. It's pretty incredible to live in an all glass building, you truly feel like you're outdoors.

77 Hudson Street still has a great selection of units available and they are currently offering great incentives to buyers.

Terror in Times Square

Living 5 minutes from the Hudson River in Hoboken, I have to honestly say, that until September 11th I never stopped to think about our vulnerability to terror attacks. It was just never something that I could even conjure. After 9/11 I remember working in town and seeing the faces of those that were affected that tragic day. I remember listening to their stories and I remember their expressions of complete sorrow and disbelief...

Photo: A view from 77 River - my clients gorgeous balcony

My entire family either works or commutes via Manhattan, I went to school on the upper west side, my mom can see the Empire State building from her kitchen window, I can walk to Sinatra Drive and see the city lights. My clients have incredible views from their terraces. Something I don't take care granted because I never get sick of that view.

This latest scare has made me think just how vulnerable we are with the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, our bridges, ferries and trains that make this side of the water such a desirable place to live - because of it's convenience to the big apple - and I can say with truth that I have no desire to move from here, and I don't stop to think about heading into NY for some good eats and a great show.

Maybe it's naivete maybe it's too much pride, call it whatever but I would have to say that most metro city residents that live in this area would agree with me, and wouldn't leave.
