The Backstory - 2

We called our old friend Sara, who got out of television and into real estate a few years ago to show us some things in her area which is centered in Hoboken NJ. Having not been over to Hoboken in well over 10 years I wasn’t expecting much but it’s come a long way and is now really cute. Again an area that’s too cute…translating to too expensive.

After looking at various multi families, single families and condos in the area Sara showed us a condo in Jersey City Heights. We liked the neighborhood immediately. It’s sort of a diamond in the rough in that it’s a middle classish neighborhood with its share of issues. However its proximity to Manhattan and the saturation and rising prices of Hoboken and downtown Jersey City coupled with a new Light Rail line have made it very appealing lately. Fortunately for us The Heights still seems to be something of a secret…at least to us Manhattanites.
