I grew up in North Jersey. I've always referred to NJ as "Jersey" and NYC as "The city" and anywhere in upstate NY as "upstate".

New Jersey has the best views of NYC.

This guy is about 20 years late, wall street brokers figured out That Hoboken would be cheaper, now Hoboken is basically an extension of lower.Manhatte

$4750 IS NOT worth it for that 2nd apartment. It's not even renovated and the rooms are small. Right beside high traffic walkway, and street, near ground level. High ceilings are useless empty space, and you're mainly paying for the view. Might as well get something in Manhattan if you want to live closer.

I'm born and raised in Manhattan, all my family still lives in Manhattan and I've been in Hoboken for the past 18 years. I LOVE it here. I recommend it to everyone...

I moved from California to Thailand twelve years ago. I pay $280 a month rent in the beautiful mountain city of Chiang Mai. I am of course retired. No Manhattan view but I still catch an occasional episode of Law and Order.

Everyone I know from the tristate call NJ "Jersey". It's also how you distinguish natives of those areas from out-a-towners

Manhattan is definitely suffering, and will be for a long time, but living in New Jersey will, to many, feel like being stuck at 3rd base when Manhattan’s home plate is just sooooooo close.

Hoboken used to be an ABSOLUTE ARMPIT in the mid 1970’s when I used to go into work with my Dad in NYC as a kid... looks very nice now

Every time I visit NYC I always end up in NJ just as well, really love the stunning views and simple vibe, compared to the NYC itself. Great video Jon!

Depends on age and lifestyle. I moved to Manhattan in my mid-thirties. I lasted 2 years with multiple roommates and vermin/crappy apts. I refused to spend thousands of dollars for a decent one and instead moved to NJ and bought a condo. I would do stuff after work in the city so I still enjoyed the city. Having a car and where you park it made life much easier. But I can see how that’d be boring to my 20 year old self.

lived in south jersey my whole life..moved up to NH last year everyone says ‘Jersey’ but i still keep the ‘new’ in New Jersey. One of the best states!

“Jersey” sounds so much cooler to me. 😘

Great video! The ultimate decision.....NYC vs NJ. And speaking of the tiny apartment video that was mentioned while touring the luxury apartment, I just watched that this morning.

I graduated from HS in South Jersey and have referred to NJ in both ways: New Jersey and Jersey. Goregous apartments though! I don't live in the NYC metro area and can't join in on the conversation about whether I'd live there or in "York" but I enjoy seeing the different spaces and learning how the market is adapting to whatever the "new normal" will end up being.

Hoboken looks like if Disney’s Epcot Center made a version of the West Village.

I've been a super of apartment complex in North Bergen County for the past 20 years. It requires a lot of effort of me to wrap my head around what's going on with rents, rentals and brand new complexe$$$!:) Rents have pretty much doubled, in last 20years! Peoples salaries, not so much!

This was very fascinating:) wow looks like NY, like you said how it could be a sixth borough haha. I definitely could see why it’s very appealing and convenient! Looking forward to more types of videos like these!

Great video, Jon. I moved to New York from California about two and a half years ago and even lived in Jersey for a VERY short time (3 months). It was fine, though I was in Union City as opposed to Hoboken or Jersey City, so I didn't have the advantage of any PATH trains. Having said that, I guess making the huge trek across the country left me feeling really underwhelmed in NJ. I didn't move to New York to move to New Jersey, and I still feel that way, despite paying up the nose in taxes. I just felt like when I was in Jersey, even for those 3 short months, I only came to the city for work - it's not just a state, but a different state of mind. Maybe some day I'll move to Jersey and come to my senses, but for now, it really is an emotional thing staying in New York City, as opposed to across the river. Having said that, I would recommend a place in NJ for folks that don't have an attachment to the city, are looking for something bigger and cheaper (depending on location), and don't really care if their state ID or drivers license says "New York" or "New Jersey."

There are too many reasons for living in Hoboken. It’s clean, rent is affordable, location, good restaurants, the view is beautiful specially if you love photography. I live in the Hudson street. Such a great video. 👌👌 Btw, I called it Jersey ( I used to live overseas more than 10 years) However, sometimes you need to say New Jersey to foreign people.

I went to get my vaccine at the NYU Langone building on 30th and 1st yesterday, and I still cant believe how awesome the city is now. no tourists, no crowds, only real New Yorkers enjoying their city. This pandemic has made NYC a much better place. Now we just have to get the theatre district open again, I cant wait for that to happen.

A condo was worth $300,000 in Manhattan in the 1990s. Same condo was sold for $3 million dollars years ago. People just cannot afford Manhattan.

I went to check out Hoboken after your video! Loved the casual vibe, everyone was so relaxed and the waterfront is amazing!

Enjoyed this John

Yikes 1600 for a place like that is a no for me, looks like it was built in the early 1900s and it stayed that way. No thnx. People trying to make this the norm is a nope for me it has to be new or renovated to the year 2020 at least.

Oh man Hoboken has always been on my list. I swear you’ve been reading my mind lately with some of these videos you’ve been releasing lol

I got alot of friends who moved to Jersey City from NYC. They all love it. It's just right there but me myself, I'm keeping it Manhattan.

I used to live in Jersey City, many years ago, I can't imagine what the rent is up there now, now I am a happy Floridian, always love Hoboken, by my favorite city was North Bergen

Great video! I live in DC but grew up in South Jersey. And I definitely say Jersey.

Now, I know this isn’t really related per say, but I had a dream for over a decade to go to the states. And I got my chance in late 2019/early 2020 (before the major breakout of COVID) now watching anything from New York/New Jersey makes my heart ache cos I got the US bug. I’m DYING to go back. I love the architecture, the atmosphere and just the energy and anonymity. No one literally don’t give you a second glance. People might call me weird but I love America :) I’m from Denmark btw

Also Barr, have you reviewed Harrison, NJ? It has changed over the years, condos a new PATH train station and nice restaurants. Great video! Just thought I’d add this comment as well.

Commuted via NJT train, to "Hobo", then PATH to my job in downtown Manhattan. Hobo was a relatively sleepy town, not crowded. Anyone remember the Clam Broth House, near the train terminal? All the free Clam Broth you could drink. Nice park adjacent to the Terminal with views of the Manhattan skyline. There was a Barnes and Noble bookstore not far from the terminal and no longer there, where I'd kill time before my train departed at rush hour. Very convenient to Manhattan, and depending on where you want to go in NJ, i.,e. the Bergen/Main Line train (destination: Port Jervis, NY) goes to Suffern, NY), the Hobo Terminal's convenient.

Dollar beer and Ben dodging that Hoboken question was amazing

After living in Bushwick Brooklyn since birth, it was time to leave. Rent had gone up to the point where I was working just to keep a roof over my head. Jersey city has been my home since 2017. The only thing I miss is the 24hr bodegas.

I live in Jersey city and i like it. After a day of work you want to get out of the madness, hoboken and Jersey city is the answer

I remember your apartment in the West Village. You did a video on it.

I live in the Southerntier of NY...near Cornell University. The rents are outrageous! Local residents have to live in other counties and commute for employment. The students drive the economy and will pay big bucks for apts because they pack multiple students in one apt.

would be great to see episode about Westchester or Long Island as well

I would like to see you explore this area more . You don't see people talking about this area alot on KZfaq.

your videos' are the best about new York (new jersey)

Incredible views for the other location. 😍

Dallas is getting full, but we are still here for anyone who needs the dream of a one bedroom apartment in a diverse neighborhood with closets big enough to sleep a twin bed in.

I like it very much this area. Actually, from Europe a lot of flights go to Newark abd and I remember I used to wonder if there would be another option of hosting than always manhattan. So if there would be a great variety of hotels I could stay there instead of Manhattan. It would be a great idea to make a video how to go from Newark to Hoboken, hotels, etc. It would be very helpful, and another one how to get to Manhattan from a tourist point of view, timetables etc. 🥇 The area is great, the views fantastic. It must be wonderful to walk there with those views.

As someone who is a bit fascinated by New York living even though I live in Ohio I would love to see a video of maybe handicap accessible apartments if nyc has any and how much they might run a month

Hoboken was fun and affordable in the 90's when I was a kid. It was really the "alternative" place to go. For instance, Nirvana played at Maxwell's there (which sadly, the legendary music venue closed down recently) . Now, it's over priced and pretty boring. People seem to enjoy it, and I don't mind going to hang there by the water or Washington St every once and a while, but it's just not the same.

When I was a kid we’d drive to Hoboken from Brooklyn for the bar scene. I said to my friend, hey this town is nice let’s move here and she said no way! I’d be in a cheap rental today had I listened. 😊

This is a very informative and great video. I forget exactly what you and Adriannas cost in Brooklyn is. Would you also do Queens cost please. I lived in Gramercy in the 80s in 1 room, shared bathroom and no air about 50 sq feet at $500 monthly. I love seeing what it’s like now!

Wow, that walk down the main street at the beginning reminds me so much of one I took in Danforth, Toronto. @8:46, you could rent in Long Island City for that figure and still have spectacular views. I guess Hoboken is on the wrong side of Manhattan for me. @12:49, no they are not. New York was formerly called New Amsterdam and was a Dutch settlement founded in 1624. It became New York when the British acquired it.

i've call jersey....new jersey and jersey depending on who i'm talking to and where i am... when i'm in the south, it's Jersey. it really intimidates southernslol ....when i go to "the city", and when asked, i usually say jersey...whenever i tell some new yorkers i'm from New Jersey, their reactions are "oh New Jersey" with such disdain in their voices it makes me want to slap the taste out of them...But when i say Jersey. they seem to treat it as if i said i'm from Queens or Da Bronx...lol...they don't give it a second thought...i live in Maplewood now and would love to live in Hoboken....great town...street parking is really tough though...great video too...keep them coming.

Path Trains need to be expanded to reach Newark Airport and also to the Meadowlands for access to American Dream and hopefully a casino.

Hoboken looks a lot like many Brooklyn neighbourhoods, but it's just in Jersey. Same metropolitan area so it makes sense I guess.

Moved to Paulus Hook neighborhood a few yrs ago, and imo, the view is even better. I've always referred to it as just "Jersey". Maybe it's because when I first moved to the east coast, I lived in Manhattan right away, and that's how people always called it. But living in Jersey City for over 3yrs now, it still stuck. Many people here just call it Jersey as well.

The video is cool i would admit New Jersey has been getting my attention for buying an apartment in the future and yes Hoboken and Jersey City have been on my list. I will admit the vibe is cool and all but as a guy who has been here since 1995 I love manhattan (and yes I understand there’s crime or everything is close but I live here half my life I’ve seen worse) still it’s nice to notice the area

Hi I worked in JC and always wondered about Hob. Is their a water pipe and flooding issue?.Of course infrastructure issues are everywhere plus auto insurance

Would have been nice to see something between a $1600 starter studio and a luxury $4700 2-bedroom. That's a big gap, and I think the majority of people would be somewhere in the middle (or lower middle).

My good friend left NYC for Mooresville, NC ...he said many New Yorkers are fleeing and heading South...More value of house for the money and great living...just outside Charlotte...just a 10 hours ride to NYC... To each his/her own.

Love the wide sidewalks! the stairs are a no-no.

Love Hoboken lived there for 10yrs

Just moved OUT of Hoboken after 15 years. Loved it, great place to live in 20s - 30s IMO. Will always have a special place in my heart. Pretty funny that the agent is stressing the $1 beers from green rock and than you guys are having beers at Texas-Arizona. Lol. Maybe bc green rock is a sh*t hole??

I love Hoboken just have to be really careful about certain area flood

I thought that Hoboken is pricey too, My wife and i have an apartment in weehawken and that is still expensive!.

Yeah, Hoboken is very very nice. My daughter has lived on 10th St for 2 years and just moved to Philly with boyfriend. Philly is nice but I really like Hoboken. She had a great view of city too. My daughter lives with 3 other females. Each has their own room. They live in a brownstone-ism place with backyard .. nice kitchen. She pays $1,200 and has tons of space. My other daughter lives in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in a crazy small apartment for $1,600. Really nice restaurants , easy commute and great places to run and bike. It's not Brooklyn but damn it's a good second choice. I think the boyfriend should move to Hoboken from Philly.

Hi Jon, would you say that living in Hoboken is a good idea in terms of price and commute if I have to go to my campus on Park Avenue South in Manhattan?

I’m sorry. Outside of the fireplace, this place is depressing. You can get the same right now in Manhattan for same price. And what is there to do in Jersey?

Wow! I pay $1,200 a month up in Rochester for a 4BR / 2.5 bath 2,500 sq ft. in the "SOHO" type area.

Almost $5k for 2 bedrooms!! The second bedroom with the bunk bed was so small!! Also the apartment could be suitable for roommates and split the rent. I have been living in jersey for 21 years. You can buy a pretty decent 4 bedroom house with mid size backyard and full basement in Central Jersey for the same amount of money per month. So it will be called mortgage not rent. Yes, Hoboken is nice because is urban and 10min path ride to the city. But you pay rent for location, possibly views of the city and walking distance to restaurants and bars. It is party town as well. Lots of college kids. It gets loud, well pre COVID.

Nice walk

Lived in nyc for eight years. Left at 33 yrs old …moved to Hawaii. Bought a home on Maui . I don’t even know how I lived there. It was stressful, dirty and a rat race. Only thing I miss is the pizza.

Brownstones are very cheap in St. Louis. Dallas has semi-modern buildings with two rooms for $1,110 and hyper modern for $2,120.

Born & raised in NJ & old enough to be your parents....NJ will always be called NJ! Even if I move to retire, I will still call it NJ. Natives from NJ will always call Manhattan "the city" amongst ourselves but if you are talking to someone from AZ, you would say "I was in Manhattan" not "I was in the city" bc they wouldn't know what you were talking about. All the NJ college graduates in the past have wanted to live in the city as a right of passage of growing up, then started focusing on Hoboken as a cooler place to live. The constant complaint about Hoboken is that there is NO PARKING & more recently more frequent flooding. Now, a a lot of young people are focusing on Jersey City & Morristown is becoming the new cooler upscale Hoboken.

You can do better in Manhattan now kitchenwise. Landlords in the city have upped their game the past few months. I’m not a huge NJ fan and I sold my car a few years ago. Loved my Jag but don’t miss upkeep, $600+parking in the city, tire issues every winter and other stress. Bought some really great handmade Italian shoes and walk almost everywhere. I do like the views from the Hudson area.

I am from Wisconsin and I married a guy from New Jersey we are now divorced but the point is he never called it Jersey. He took me there a few times to visit his family, he would drive to New York City so I could see all the sites. I fell in love with New York City from the very first time he took me there.

I want to live in Hoboken. a few stations away to PATH.

Those views 😍😍😍

It is a studio, studio, studio. A studio. Beautiful windows.

New Jersey has always been safer than NYC and a ton cheaper!

Grew up in South Jersey, haven't lived there in over 20 years. I lived in the South and now the Midwest. I call it Jersey now.

Always called it “Jersey”!🤷🏻‍♀️And Manhattan we called “the city” !❤️

Living in Brooklyn my whole life and always called it Jersey!

now you can get a good apartment for $1600 in Manhattan like Hoboken. That's insane

Subscribed and enjoy your videos I especially like the ones you do with Cash. Like you I left the village but it was along time ago. Now in Murray Hill. Glad you are happy in Brooklyn Been to Jersey City Grove St station on Path I need to check out Hoboken Beautuful views by waterfront

I like shows the apt is cool dude

Lived in southern NJ my whole life, definitely just Jersey. Maybe in a few instances or if I was out of state and someone asked where I was from I would say New Jersey, but that's about it. Weird that we're (most likely) the only "New" state to do it though, lol.

Hoboken seems to have poor infrastructure, constantly has water main breaks, PATH issues, parking problems similar to NYC and the Bar scene just isn't enticing enough to live across the river looking back. New Jersey has always just been the place you to have to ride through to get somewhere else and the GWB just plain sucks. The brownstones are pretty for sure but people want the inside to be updated and more "modern".

This guy you are with great to Have you checked out Jersey City? Bronx too has dome great areas Beautiful luxury apt great view. Also your friend mentions uptown Hoboken How is that different from downtown ? Uptown improbably near the river

The closest I ever came to living in the city was a brief stint in Staten Island. Way back when it was still smelly! 😜

Is it true you have to pay both NJ and NY state income tax if you work in NYC but live in NJ?

I'm a Jersey girl, born and raised (Bergen County), and yes, I live out of state now, but I'm pretty sure I've always called it Jersey.

I use Jersey with my friends from NJ and New Jersey to everyone else. grew up on the shore.

@here be Barr : you should also do a video of the ownership in NYC Manhattan Most condos are owned by shell companies overseas

Hoboken is a bar/gym town. If that's what you are looking for, go for it. I have a problem with the segregation in Hoboken. Local politicians will deny segregation exists. If you go one zip code over, to The Heights in Jersey City, It's a much more diverse setting.

You should go to Brooklyn or Queens. If you live in Jersey and work in NYC you have to file 2 returns. Unless your buying a house then Jersey all the way.

Beautiful city to move on!

Grew up in south Jersey and there were people who commuted to NYC every day. Also people say... what exit.

No price drops in Hoboken? WTH?!?!? That studio was terrible. These days you can score that apartment in Manhattan for 22. And who the hell is going to pay 5k in NJ!?!?!?!?! Thanks for confirming the craphole that is Jersey.

What’s up Broski 🦋®️

What Camera are you using Is anyone TOOK this video?

Hmm Hoboken - maybe place to move 20 years ago? Everyone I know moved away from Hoboken further inland mainly after getting families.... In my opinion for most part it’s just as crowded as Manhattan and price I guess slightly less than Manhattan but not by a lot if you don’t count most expensive places in Manhattan.

Well im never moving back to my home state. Prices are already off the charts in Jersey City/ Hoboken area.
