Bro this sub is like 20 people who live in downtown. It's a representation of nothing lol

Pint has 10$ off and one free drink (pretty absurdly good deal)

South House doesnt advertise anything but the bartender hooked up a free whatever my friend wanted when we went out.

Yes but you can run into a homeless person anywhere. There's folks like that around wall street in manhattan too. Just something to get used to in the big city.

This is an issue you have with Reddit, not a Jersey City topic

Nothing is listed but official completion date is Winter 23 and I believe it. It’s topping out and windows are done for almost 1/3 of the floors. I think it’ll be ready by June.

out of curiosity, do you know if anyone has started listing 262 Johnston apartments? Ive been watching it being built and while it seemed like it would be ready by the summer this is the first im hearing that said in any concrete terms. Would love to see what they are asking/offering there. The facade is looking great.

Lived in this neighborhood for 4 years now, moved in when I was in my late 20s too and had a job that would have me coming home at all different kind of hours. Never felt unsafe here. It has developed a lot since i've been here too. When I first moved i toured that building, it was totally fine, but no in unit laundry. Some of the units are DIRECTLY in front of the freight train too (light rail is quiet, its rly not the issue), so be careful which one u are getting because it is very loud going around that curve. There are several other buildings all in that area that will get u the same value apartment size wise and all have laundry in unit instead, so i would look at the others if you want and consider those as well.
Also if I remember its an electric only building so you are only paying for water and electric. Water is redic cheap, i doubt you will get a bill out of the $20 range unless you use a disproportionate amount for a single person. Likewise electric has never been too bad in this area with the newer construction, depending on the month/weather i would say your use would vary the price from 50-100$/mo on avg.

The chunks of missing facade material probably make it easier for moisture to get into the walls and such.

I think there’s a saying that moisture is a building’s worst enemy or something like that.

So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a bunch of hidden water damage there. Especially if the building has been closed up for several years with no HVAC system running to control humidity inside.

I dunno, ever gotten exterior prices? I would not be surprised if stripping and redoing that was well into 6 figures. Every time I walk past it seeing the failing exterior makes me queasy, some contractor told the owner that he knew how to do that, no problem! I paid a mason to do front stairs work and 4 years later it was way worse than when he started.

I've long described hiring contractors like flinging yourself off a cliff into the ocean and hoping a wave is covering the rocks when you hit. Even good ones leave you easter eggs you find years later...

Moved here in 2015ish and that house was under construction…. Still going strong I see

The gross disintegrating exterior is funny, but in the grand scheme of things is probably cheap enough to fix and finish, right?
Makes me wonder what serious, non-cosmetic things are wrong with the building.

I was just in there Saturday night for the first time and was busy the hours I was there from 11:30 pm until 1:30 am. Hookah was good, I didn't ask but going from reviews I think they do charge a BYOB charge and some people do complain about the odd hidden change.

The old Indio’s spot!

Ramsay on Communipaw is a short walk through Berry Lane Park from the Garfield Ave light rail. Haircuts are $30.

Ugh this is similar to the style that’s all over Philly. Absolutely hate it

$2,100, you?

It would be torture if they made street cleaning the same time on both sides of the street. That would mean that you can't park anywhere on the entire street.

How much do you pay for your high rise apartment in downtown Jersey City with a pool and gym?

I like journal squared even though it’s a little bit of a vinoly ripoff

LPT: in NJ it is illegal to charge a BYOB / corkage fee if a restaurant does not have a liquor license.

Funny anecdote: about ~10 years ago there was a new place in DTJC that was charging corkage fees, got called out on it on what was the predominant local board at the time, they [the restaurant] copped an attitude, and then guess what... someone must have reported them, because that fee disappeared shortly thereafter, and they then tried to smooth things over by groveling in the same thread in which they had copped an attitude. If you are patronizing a restaurant/cafe in NJ that does not have a liquor license and allows BYOB, and they try to charge you a corkage fee, kindly inform them they are breaking the law and refuse the extra charge.

OP, make sure to check Bayonne out too! Just moved into a nice 2 bedroom apartment this past summer and am paying $1300 per month

The thing I have learned about Reddit is that it is filled with a ton of know-nothing younglings and a bunch of keyboard warriors, often spewing nonsense or straight up misinformation, unable (or, unwilling) to have rational debates, and too immature to be able to acknowledge an incorrect opinion. As a result, you end up with what I call "drive by" posts that make zero sense, or are completely and wildly wrong, and often time deleted posts by people who were too chicken shit immature to acknowledge they were entirely wrong or off base, and instead delete their comment or reply. Just wait until you get accused of a completely made up grievance, like has already happened to me.

Unfortunately (for the other person) even deleted posts/comments can be reached if you have a direct link to them, and that person looked like a hysterical and deluded fool when I posted links to what was actually said/written.
