    $4750 IS NOT worth it for that 2nd apartment. It's not even renovated and the rooms are small. Right beside high traffic walkway, and street, near ground level. High ceilings are useless empty space, and you're mainly paying for the view. Might as well get something in Manhattan if you want to live closer.

    Depends on age and lifestyle. I moved to Manhattan in my mid-thirties. I lasted 2 years with multiple roommates and vermin/crappy apts. I refused to spend thousands of dollars for a decent one and instead moved to NJ and bought a condo. I would do stuff after work in the city so I still enjoyed the city. Having a car and where you park it made life much easier. But I can see how that’d be boring to my 20 year old self.

    Great video, Jon. I moved to New York from California about two and a half years ago and even lived in Jersey for a VERY short time (3 months). It was fine, though I was in Union City as opposed to Hoboken or Jersey City, so I didn't have the advantage of any PATH trains. Having said that, I guess making the huge trek across the country left me feeling really underwhelmed in NJ. I didn't move to New York to move to New Jersey, and I still feel that way, despite paying up the nose in taxes. I just felt like when I was in Jersey, even for those 3 short months, I only came to the city for work - it's not just a state, but a different state of mind. Maybe some day I'll move to Jersey and come to my senses, but for now, it really is an emotional thing staying in New York City, as opposed to across the river.
    Having said that, I would recommend a place in NJ for folks that don't have an attachment to the city, are looking for something bigger and cheaper (depending on location), and don't really care if their state ID or drivers license says "New York" or "New Jersey."

So if there would be a great variety of hotels I could stay there instead of Manhattan. It would be a great idea to make a video how to go from Newark to Hoboken, hotels, etc. It would be very helpful, and another one how to get to Manhattan from a tourist point of view, timetables etc. 🥇 The area is great, the views fantastic. It must be wonderful to walk there with those views.

    Commuted via NJT train, to "Hobo", then PATH to my job in downtown Manhattan. Hobo was a relatively sleepy town, not crowded. Anyone remember the Clam Broth House, near the train terminal? All the free Clam Broth you could drink. Nice park adjacent to the Terminal with views of the Manhattan skyline. There was a Barnes and Noble bookstore not far from the terminal and no longer there, where I'd kill time before my train departed at rush hour. Very convenient to Manhattan, and depending on where you want to go in NJ, i.,e. the Bergen/Main Line train (destination: Port Jervis, NY) goes to Suffern, NY), the Hobo Terminal's convenient.

    Hoboken was fun and affordable in the 90's when I was a kid. It was really the "alternative" place to go. For instance, Nirvana played at Maxwell's there (which sadly, the legendary music venue closed down recently) . Now, it's over priced and pretty boring. People seem to enjoy it, and I don't mind going to hang there by the water or Washington St every once and a while, but it's just not the same.

    My daughter lives with 3 other females. Each has their own room. They live in a brownstone-ism place with backyard .. nice kitchen. She pays $1,200 and has tons of space. My other daughter lives in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in a crazy small apartment for $1,600.
    Really nice restaurants , easy commute and great places to run and bike. It's not Brooklyn but damn it's a good second choice.

    Hoboken seems to have poor infrastructure, constantly has water main breaks, PATH issues, parking problems similar to NYC and the Bar scene just isn't enticing enough to live across the river looking back. New Jersey has always just been the place you to have to ride through to get somewhere else and the GWB just plain sucks. The brownstones are pretty for sure but people want the inside to be updated and more "modern".

    Almost $5k for 2 bedrooms!! The second bedroom with the bunk bed was so small!! Also the apartment could be suitable for roommates and split the rent. I have been living in jersey for 21 years. You can buy a pretty decent 4 bedroom house with mid size backyard and full basement in Central Jersey for the same amount of money per month. So it will be called mortgage not rent. Yes, Hoboken is nice because is urban and 10min path ride to the city. But you pay rent for location, possibly views of the city and walking distance to restaurants and bars. It is party town as well. Lots of college kids. It gets loud, well pre COVID.

He keeps talking about how close it is to a short train ride downtown, but I don’t even need to take the train to get to my office in FiDi. Also, the vibe of the bars in Hoboken is only for certain kinds of people and is not my thing. If I needed a car, then Hoboken would be a good option, but at the same time, if I was driving, I could live in a cheaper area of New Jersey that’s further away. Also, as somebody who bicycles most places, I’d much rather live in Queens or Brooklyn, since you can’t ride a bicycle in the Holland or Lincoln Tunnels.
