It’s so funny you say that! When my broker told me about the apartment, he said it was a studio. Because I had seen so many excellent one bedrooms, I immediately told him no and that I didn’t think it was worth viewing. He convinced me to check it out anyway. The moment I walked in and saw the city views, amenities, and location, I knew I had to take it! I shocked myself because I’m usually not one to change my mind once I make a decision.

@MeaganIsHere Жыл бұрын

Yes! See, you understand! There’s a big stigma with moving to Jersey from NYC but honestly, I don’t understand it and I’ve never bought into it. By living directly outside the city you can often live in a spacious, luxurious apartment with amazing amenities (pool, gym, rooftop, in unit washer and dryer, etc)! It’s SUCH a better value and I highly recommend it! Nothing beats coming home to an amazing apartment! And when I want to be in NYC, I can be there in less than 30 minutes.

I feel sorry for the older units in west New York and Weehawken because when they were built it was considered very modern and luxury years ago. Unfortunately new buildings started popping up left and right and they can no longer complete as far as luxury. But being some of the first buildings they do have the perfect locations.

@MeaganIsHere 2 жыл бұрын

You’re ABSOLUTELY right. The original buildings were landmarks in the area and were definitely considered modern and luxurious when they were built. I witnessed a lot of those buildings being built when I first moved to the east coast. I still think those buildings are nice and many of them are meticulously maintained. To your point, it’s impossible for those buildings to compete with the MANY new developments (Riverhouse 9 and 11, RiverTrace, the Capstone, Estuary, etc.) in the area. I noticed that 2 of the older buildings in Port Imperial have recently been demolished to make way for new developments…yikes! It’ll be interesting to see how that whole area (and Edgewater once the superfund site(s) gets developed) in the years to come. Thanks for watching and providing feedback! ❤️

@MeaganIsHere Жыл бұрын

I’m so glad you liked the video! I absolutely LOVED living in Edgewater. This was actually my 2nd time living in Edgewater. The neighborhood is upscale and there are so many great restaurants and shops nearby. I’m not sure if you have a car or not, but the neighborhood is very walkable. Honestly, Jersey City is hit or miss. I prefer the Grove Street and Newport areas of Jersey City. There’s a good amount of things to do there and the proximity to Manhattan via the PATH train is A++. Exchange Place area is really nice visually, but you might find it boring. The Journal Square neighborhood (just my opinion) still has a long way to go. I didn’t find the surrounding area pleasant or particularly safe. The commute is easy from the Journal Square PATH train, but honestly, that’s the only positive. I don’t care for the Bergen-Lafayette section and Greenville is a 100% no for me. So yea! Try to see if you can snag a place in Newport or Grove Street areas. Exchange Place is good too. All other areas of Jersey City are still in transition…which may or may not work for you. Thanks for watching!! ❤️

Very interesting video and I truly loved many of the apartments you visited. We moved from NYC over 25 years ago (before 9/11 happened) and I don't regret it. We're on the cliffs right above Hoboken and have a long Terrence with a panoramic view of the Hudson River and NYC - right across from the Empire State Building. The only pet-peeve I have is that it's an older building with none of the amenities you mentioned but it's rent controlled. I have three BR's, 2 baths and indoor parking 15 minutes from Manhattan, so I guess what I pay is worth it because in Manhattan my same apartment would easily rent for over $3,500, I pay much less and with the influx of New Yorkers coming over, what I pay is a bargain, Lol

I apologize for being nosy, but may I ask what you do for a living? Also, will people see you in the apartment at night? I'm used to having a curtain over my window.

Between NYC and NJ where do you think is the better place for me and my roommate to live? (financially and opportunity wise) I’d really appreciate your advice 🥹🥹

@MeaganIsHere Жыл бұрын

Hey Victoria, did you end up finding a place? I think it ultimately depends on where you work and where you will spend most of your time. NJ is overall a much better deal. You can get a nice apartment with amenities for a fraction of what NYC would cost. You need to factor in the commute. If you can find a nice place in NJ that's close to the PATH train, you should highly consider it. If the NJ apartment is near the bus, keep in mind that you will need to catch the bus at Port Authority on 42nd and 8th. I'm not gonna even lie, that commute can get old REALLY fast. The bus ride is quick but the process of going through Port Authority can be annoying. If you can't find a place in NJ by a PATH stop, try looking for a place in Weehawken, Union City, or West New York. All of those towns offer very quick commutes to NYC.

Good choice. Changing subjects: If I remember correctly, not one unit had a medicine cabinet in the bathroom, only a mirror. Is this a new trend?

@MeaganIsHere 8 ай бұрын

Hey there! You know what?! That’s a REALLY good observation! The Modern had medicines cabinets, it was built into the mirror. I don’t believe any of the other units did. Also, I have since moved from that apt to a new home. My current home has 2 bathrooms and neither bathroom has medicine cabinets 😳😳! Looks like that is the new trend! Crazy.

@swisstrader Жыл бұрын

We visited a lot of the same places, but looking for a 2 bedroom. The Modern was CRAZY small…my current couch wouldn’t even come close to fitting in the living room and basically your kitchen, LR and dining room all part of one teeny tiny room plus zero closet space. Plus, have to pay $250/mo for parking + amenities fee of about $75/mo. Hard PASS for me. I am assuming you decided on the place that starts with an “O” (dont want to give away your location). Very nice but also very tiny 2 bedroom w limited closet space. But great views. In the end, we decided on a duplex which has a ton of room, but no real views.

Hey Dennis! Very true but NYC is out of control right now. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and I’ve been in NYC since 2005. Where I’m living now in Bergen County is not having anywhere near the same issues that NYC is having. Statistically, I am better off outside of the city… at least for now.
