$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.

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.

Yes Hoboken became not so great at that time it was similar to the Bronx with alot of arson going on and being nicknamed "arson city" during the 70s and 80s landlords couldn't raise rent or couldn't evict tenants so they burned the buildings and rebuild and came along the yuppies it was all politics unfortunately and people lost lives including children

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.

[@politemenace]

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."

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.

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.

[@lifeskater9899]

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.

[@ithacacomments4811]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

[@HereBeBarr]

$2500 park slope

[@l.a.f.8555]

Those views 😍😍😍

[@moreadventure3627]

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

[@HereBeBarr]

i think for $1600 the NYC version will be smaller.

[@thecocktailian2091]

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.

[@TrenchReynolds]

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.

[@donniemoder1466]

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

[@craigbosley2194]

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

[@hatchsp]

I’m from NEW Jersey and I call it New Jersey. I rarely drop the “new.” But more importantly, I never ever say “Joisey.” People who say that don’t understand NY/NJ accents at all.

[@rosierose2064]

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

[@anthonykobel4780]

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??

[@northgirl77]

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.

[@woop2235]

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

[@markwisniewski2227]

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.

[@jencrecelius3565]

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.

[@pseudonymshqipe854]

I call it Jersey too. I'm from North Jersey.

[@ramencurry6672]

If you really want to get deeper, check out the original Jersey in Europe

[@williamstrother6027]

I like shows the apt is cool dude

[@shamd9280]

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

[@TheAnswerKeyTV]

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.

[@HereBeBarr]

THANK YOU hahah

[@ihpp8090]

Hoboken looks nice. That being said, I'll keep my $1,250 2 bedroom spacious apartment in South Jersey. I'm 15 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Though, I hate Philly and stay out of there.

[@1personalt]

Sound appealing being 15 minutes from somewhere you hate

[@ihpp8090]

@@1personalt eh, I prefer to take the train into NYC over Philadelphia. NYC has something that Philly does not.

[@ihpp8090]

@L Tchort honestly, it depends on what part of south Jersey you are in. Some areas suck and others are really nice.

[@katemorgan4690]

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

[@brendanhart3314]

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

[@ec9890]

Always lived in North NJ and still do, its always been ‘Jersey’ to me and everyone i know! Lol, and nyc has always been ‘the city’!

[@JwinBaby]

What’s up Broski 🦋®️

[@marilynringel9228]

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

[@HereBeBarr]

Only did a little india video in Jersey City!

[@luminitaf3788]

In Hoboken people are referring to 16 to 10 street as uptown, mid is 9 to 4 st and Downtown is 4 to New York Ave/railroad.

[@ChrsLee78]

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

[@uheldonline]

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.

[@Alex-bj7ot]

For 2k a month in NJ is way better must say we live in a secret town!

[@whattovisitinromania5044]

Beautiful city to move on!

[@Taina-gu7yv]

Hey 👋 born and raised in Brooklyn been in Jersey for about 15 years. I still say Jersey. ;)
