Obsolutely. My old building on Adams was rental when I was there. They completely renovated it and converted into condos. Sold less than 1% of apartments and converetd back to rentals.

Good Luck in your new place.

You're too old for Hoboken anyway Hoboken Guy. Welcome to my neighborhood, it's sort of on the edge of Van Vorst Park, right Near Liberty Harbor. It's a great area.

Wait, Hoboken doesn't have rent control laws similar to JC's? In JC, they can only raise your rent something like 3% every two years.

I get an 800 sf loft with parking and cable, phone, and internet for 8,200 less per year than my studio here on River Street.
Man, that should be close to $0.00 per year for me, lol.

Does anyone know the name of that neighborhood? I am guessing it's the fringe of Paulus Hook or Van Vorst Park? The building is located on Grand between Jersey and Barrow next to the hospital.
Well, most folks would have considered it part of downtown, although with all the new development going on by the marina, it's probably going to end up being considered a different neighborhood. I walk by your place all the time. Wave to me if you see me. I also eat at the Brownstone Diner right there on Jersey and Grand frequently.

I go through that parking lot a lot . . . although based on the looks I get from some women I pass, I guess I'm an undesirable, too.

There's a great liquor store on Jersey . . . a block or so north of the library. Not sure how the prices compare, but they've got a great beer selection for one. That's the place I usually go.

LOL - I have a friend in a rent control walk up that is just the deal of the century. But 5 floor walk up - saves on fitness club bills anyway!
