Reply to comment by K04free in FOR RENT: 1 Bedroom Apt in Downtown Jersey City -$1,700/month by EveryWall

THANK YOU lol. i was actually thinking, the people being critical have clearly neverrrr done a simple online search of housing in paulus hook/downtown before bc even 1700 at this point is getting to be unheard of for this area. yeah, there's def nicer places out here but be prepared to throw down at least three hundred more per month at a minimum then

Ya housing in NY / NJ is a function of when the lease was signed (i.e signed a rent stabilized lease is 1985). Signing a new lease is a different game entirely. There’s lot of survivorship bias online in comparing apartments, I’m sure someone can chime and talk about how great a deal they got.

This is probably underpriced if anything, someone could rent the apartment and spend a weekend painting and $500 on some basic upgrades like cabinet handles, fixtures and toilet seat then be left with a great place.
