I had a buyer in South Orange asking for an opinion about the NW area in Hoboken and this was my response to her.
Please let me know if you are a resident of the NW area of Hoboken why YOU like to live there or the reason if you dis-like living there?
Dear JNR,
I believe that the NW section of Hoboken is a great area to be, especially after the Upper Grand condos have created a neighborhood there and expanded the NW of Hoboken even further. It seems that the area is being enhanced even further as there is a movie theater planned on 14th and Adams/ Grand and also a strip mall which should attract some nice shops to service that area of Hoboken. Transportation-wise there is the light rail on 9th Street against the Palisade and on 14th and Willow there's easy access into Manhattan via bus and if you have a car it's easy to get into the Tunnel to Manhattan or on Route 495 to connect with the rest of the highways. In terms of buying a property to invest; It will be really hard to predict the future of home values 5 years from now, however, historically and generally, 5 years has been enough of a time to create some sort of an appreciation. I believe that the next 5 years should do the same, even though my gut feeling is that it's not going to be around the same growth as we have enjoyed in the last 5 Years. Personally, I think that "Anywhere" in Hoboken is a great place to be, the city is small enough for you to still be close to the many amenities the city has to offer regardless of where you are. That said, the places closer to Hoboken's waterfront are in general more desirable, thus more expensive. So this all depends on your comfort level with the different areas within Hoboken and of course on the budget that you're looking in.
Please let me know if I can help you with some examples of properties in the different areas within Hoboken.
Best Regards,
Anoir

If you've enjoyed the 2008 Beijing Olympics as much as I have then you've probably noticed this one guy named... Michael Phelps! I've always liked the swimming discipline at the Olympics, but I'm sure you can agree that this time it was better than ever. Well the reason why I mentioned Michael Phelps in a Hoboken Condo Blog, is because of the great swimming facilities at Hoboken's own Stevens Institute of Technology.
Michael Phelps actually inspired me right after the 2004 Olympics in Sydney to attend the swimming facilities at SIT on Castle Point in Hoboken, so I can tell you first hand that its great fun even for a novice swimmer like me. It was great! Swimming a few laps under the instruction of some great trainers.
Michael Phelps started his swimming career at age 7 in Baltimore, Maryland, so I assume to make it to the Olympics and win it, you've got to start early?! Well you're in luck! Stevens Aquatics Program has a nice schedule that can accommodate children of all ages and that includes our Hoboken Seniors ; ). One can literally start at the age of 6 Months young (obviously, parent involvement is required) and take it as far as you can possibly swim.
The groups are cleverly named from Water Tykes (2 - 4yrs) to Sand Sharks (8 - 12yrs). So I'm sure there is another Michael Phelps in Hoboken, because as amazing as this guy is, he seems grounded enough to not think that nobody can beat his record. Just like when Michael Johnson's seemingly unbeatable world record on the 200 meters, was put in the shades by another youngster Usain Bolt.
So head over to the swimming pool in Hoboken's Stevens Institute of Technology on Caste Point. The best way of getting there would be past the field on 8th Street and Castle Point Terrace off Hudson Street.
Please click here for the Stevens Aquatics Brochure for schedules and fees.
Happy swimming,
Sand Shark (Carcharias taurus)
