New Hoboken Loft Rental Building Opens It's Doors To Artists

The doors of the Artisan at 1400 Clinton and 1440 Grand St open today. Names after the base that this marketing group are looking to attract, the Artisan offers one two and three bedroom apartments plus retail space and ten apartments were designed as live/work spaces for artists.

The apartments range in price from $2300 up to $4400 for a three bedroom. They are outfitted with hardwood floors, washer and dryers plus floor to ceiling windows and a lucky few have private roof decks. While the prices don't seem artist friendly, the addition of work/live spaces are a smart move and will likely be snatched up quickly by successful artists looking to stay in the area. And what a great location just walking distance to the Monroe Arts Center, the Biergarten, The Hoboken Movie theater, Carpe Diem and just 5 minutes to the Lincoln Tunnel. 

Construction is expected to be completed this month. I think it's a great addition to the on going 14th St Viaduct beautification project which is providing green space and pedestrian walkways to give this once abandoned industrial area a community vibe.

Jersey City Real Estate Market Update September 2013

Jersey City Real Estate Market Update September 2013

If I could describe the current real estate environment in downtown Jersey City I would say it's cut throat. To say the market is competitive is an understatement. Multiple bids, acceptances and then cancelling because a new, higher bid came in is the norm. Buyers, you must hire a savvy agent if you are wishing to compete and find a home to call your own. Sellers, as long as you price your home accordingly, you can be confident you will receive your asking price if not better.

Sales: For the month of September DTJC saw a total of 51 units close. The Median List Price was $499,000 and the Median Sold Price was HIGHER at $507,500. This means if you are making an offer on a property, you must, you must must (unless it's overpriced) start at asking price if you are going to be the winning bid. Scary, yes.

Median Days on Market was 28 days.

Pending:
For this same month DTJC 45 units changed their status from active to under contract. Their Median List Price was $549,900 and the Median Days on Market was 28 days.

Traffic delays & mass transit
Based on prior years, residents and visitors who drive are advised to expect four hours or more of traffic and delays exiting Hoboken after the fireworks and at least two hour delays to exit municipal parking garages. In addition to delays, the gridlock can create a situation where public safety vehicles cannot effectively respond to emergencies, so the City strongly urges visitors to take mass transit. Options include the PATH, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, NY Waterway ferries, or NJ Transit commuter rail or bus. For additional travel information, visit: www.hobokennj.org/visit/how-to-get-here. Visitors looking for parking will be directed to municipal garages B (28 2^nd St) and D (215 Hudson St).

Heightened security
As in years past, there will be heightened security, with numerous checkpoints staffed by law enforcement personnel along the entire waterfront area. Checkpoint entrances will be located at: 1^st St & Sinatra Dr, 2^nd St & Sinatra Dr, 3^rd St & Sinatra Dr, 4^th St & River St, 11^th St & Sinatra Dr, 12^th St & Shipyard Ln, 14^th St and Shipyard Ln. The stairway from the Babbio Center to the waterfront will be closed. Any person entering these designated checkpoints will be prohibited from entering with the following items: backpacks, fireworks, coolers, glass bottles, cans, grills & barbeque materials, propane tanks, weapons, tents, alcohol, and other items not in the interest of public safety. Only factory sealed beverages will be permitted, excluding alcohol. All items are subject to inspection prior to entry into the checkpoint areas.
