Yea I did not realize it was contamination. It may never reopen. Sigh.

Correct, but I promise you that this is what everyone that lives in downtown JC is doing. You will have to buy a SmartLink card for the PATH.

If you are moving to downtown JC why not take the PATH to WTC and transfer to the E? The PATH ride from Exchange place to WTC is about 6 minutes. And the E is right next to where the PATH lets out - it's a very quick transfer. If the E doesn't work for you you can get to many other subway lines via a short underground walk.

I don't know why anyone would want to take a bus from downtown JC to the city - this commute sounds like torture and makes zero sense. As I'm sure you know, the bus lanes into the city are via the Lincoln Tunnel - do you know how long it would take a bus to get from downtown JC to the Lincoln Tunnel?

Downtown Jersey City is across from lower Manhattan, so it's easier to get to lower Manhattan. Hoboken is across from midtown Manhattan, so it's easier to get to midtown Manhattan. If you are insistent on taking the bus, you should look into the Heights, which is also across from midtown Manhattan.

Ok I don't know about "ppl" but I have tried my best to help anyone asking for apartment advice but without their budget and a list of their wants and needs it's a waste of my time and theirs.

This person has provided zero parameters. Not even a budget. How can anyone begin to try to help?

Is this a real post or are you trolling?

I meant it was the newest one out of all of the ones that he listed, which it is. I did not even realize they opened so close together.... I guess Vantage just feels newer and nicer to me, I don't know. 65 Bay is not impressive to me.

Vantage is the newest one so the amenities have all the bells and whistles and there is an awesome pool deck. Can also get sweeping views of the city.

The other buildings you mentioned (BLVD and 65 Bay) are older so I'm not really sure how they can possibly compare. Also depending on where you are commuting these two buildings may take you up the hell hole of marin boulevard and past the Holland tunnel traffic to get onto a highway and this is something I would want to avoid if I had to do it often. If that neighborhood is really speaking to you, I'd be more inclined to look at The One or Urby. Some of the layouts in urby are weird but they have so many different floor plans I'm sure you could find one you like. The amenities at Urby are also really nice.

Vantage gives you easy access to the turnpike if you're commuting that way. Only downside is it's probably the furthest from the PATH but the light rail is right there at least.

Lenox is a smaller building and while it's nice and more in line with what I prefer I'm not sure why it's on your list of your priorities are high rise with awesome amenities. It's not that. It is the only one that's really in a area with a neighborhood feel though, as opposed to a bunch of disjointed high rises.

Any reason you haven't looked at Haus 25? Easy access to PATH and right on a main road for commuting. Amenities are generally thought to be the best in Jersey City, also closest to Newark Ave if you care about restaurants. I'd lean towards this or Vantage though maybe Haus 25 is out of your range. Not sure if maybe they hav 1+den?

Sorry my response is all over the place but when you're paying that much for apartments none are going to really be that bad so it's really going to come down to your personal preference. How often have you been to Jersey City? If you live in the city now I'd recommend coming here a few times to get a feel for the areas where all the buildings are to help you decide.

You are spending an absurd amount of money for a luxury apartment building. I promise you none of them suck. Relying on someone's extremely personal experience with their own needs and priorities will not be useful to you unless you have the exact same needs and priorities.

You will get more useful advice if you say what your priorities are. Easy access to PATH? Will you use the amenities or the pool? Do you want a lively or quiet neighborhood? Do you have a car? Are you away a lot? Commute to the city at all? Commute elsewhere?

Downtown is the nicest/safest area but the traffic driving to and from Christ and Hoboken via local roads would turn me off. Also, It still puts you further away from two hospitals to be barely any closer to Bayonne. The heights is also incredibly safe. A lot of it just isn't shiny and new because it's been a well established neighborhood for a long time.

I have lived downtown for a decade and have watched the traffic slowly get worse and worse and I just cannot deal with it. Luckily I only drive on weekends if I'm leaving town. I avoid it otherwise. It's not AS bad as I'm making it sound, at most it will take a half hour to drive to Hoboken. It just gets tiring after a while since it's so damn close and you can practically walk there in the same amount of time.

Since you're coming from Texas I really cannot stress how bad the traffic is around here. In the past decade jersey city has added 10,000 new apartments and it is no where near as big as the other cities on this list.

Lol buy a property with strangers, sounds like a great idea.

Saw in another post you said Christ hospital... Definitely good to clarify and I bet most people suggesting Bergen Lafayette think he will be in the hospital in downtown JC. Would not recommend Bergen Lafayette if he will be at Christ and Hoboken 2/3 of the year. I would not want to commute from Bergen Lafayette to Christ hospital and I definitely would not want to do it to Hoboken. It would be a fast ride to Bayonne but that's where he will be the least.

I would recommend being in the heights, ideally near the 2nd street light rail. And you should be able to find something within your budget. Street parking would be the only downside, it's difficult in the heights. But can walk to Christ hospital, and can even walk to Hoboken hospital on a nice day. Only problem would be when driving to Hoboken you would be dealing with Holland tunnel traffic into NYC but sounds like he may be earlier than that? Bayonne would be a quick ride down the turnpike or across 440.

It's not near the PATH, which I know you said you wanted to be near, but on a nice day it's a doable walk (albeit a long one) to journal square PATH or a light rail stop away from the Newport PATH station. You also have the bus in the heights to NYC, if that's why you're looking for PATH access. None of these hospitals are near PATH.

Journal square would be next best, especially if PATH access is non-negotiable, but it takes you further away from Christ and Hoboken to be essentially the same distance from Bayonne. Also I personally would prefer the heights. More low rise, feels more like a neighborhood to me.

How often will he be going to each hospital, or will it be pretty much even? I'm asking because even though these cities are a few miles away from one another traffic can be brutal. I personally would want to be near the turnpike (sounds like he's driving?) or the light rail if not driving, though I don't think the hospital in Bayonne is near the light rail. Assume he is working non traditional hours?

Obviously too far away to have on a regular basis but I was just happy when I found out they still existed. My husband is from upstate and we have gone out of our way to make a stop a few times on our way up there to visit his family. Just as good as I remembered.

It's in Saratoga!

I go to 14th Street garden center. I used to avoid it thinking parking would be a pain but there's always parking on the street to the north. Knowledgeable workers, quality selection, and large enough that the prices are reasonable. It's not as cheap as Lowe's or home Depot but not as pricey as the smaller high quality shops. I used to go to home Depot and you can tell the plants at 14th Street are cared for so much better. They will also pot them for you and help you bring large ones to your car.

The only pro you have listed for Urby is the view.

Sojo is worth going to use the facilities but I wouldn't go for a treatment.

There are hundreds of boats in the way.

Even if someone did decide to spend money on this, the channel is so narrow it would be impossible to reach a high enough elevation on this supposed path to allow boats to pass under it and still have the path be be ADA accessible. Unless you're installing an elevator too.

Also, it's completely absurd and will never happen. It takes approximately 20 minutes to walk from liberty state park from this location, 10 minutes on a light rail or bicycle, 5 minutes in a car, and 1 minute on a ferry.

Is this a joke?

Pershing

Cheesecake ice cream cake!

He didn't murder anyone in the building. He just was the doorman and committed a murder elsewhere. I saw his mugshot in the news. He obviously was fired and I assume is now in prison.
