Is this a dodgy area?
The Lenox Condo: Map - TheLenoxCondo.com
Any advice welcome. We are from London, moving to the NY area, looking to spend up to $300,000 for a 1 bed place, probably in NJ (Hoboken, Weehawken etc) Does the above look like it's in a bad area? Where would be best to spend our (somewhat limited!) money?
Thanks.

I would rate it a 5 on a scale of 10, it is a very dense area and not very convenient to commuting to NYC, you'd be better served looking at areas north of hoboken along the river, like edgewater |

This should be in the NJ forum. You would get much better advice there.

I don't know if this is your BEST bet, but to be in a completely safe area I could recommend Mahwah, NJ. You should be able to find for that price a condo that is newer or newish with I think basic modern amenities (for example washer/dryer in unit along with dishwasher, would be a must at least for me). I think you can get on a train to NYC via Secaucus from there. But this is a totally different feel than Hoboken Weehawken Union City.
