I live on the Hudson right across from nyc in NJ. A lot of people will get a hotel in Jersey city or weehawken and take the path train or ferry over. It’s a quick ride, and hotels are much cheaper
In case you haven’t noticed, everyone from NY is moving to Jersey…so being in Jersey must not be all that bad? But what do I know I’ve only been here for nearly 20 years
One popular option is the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City. It’s about a 30 second walk to the Exchange Place PATH train which takes you to the World Trade Center in about 5 minutes.
Plus you get the skyline view, the walk along the Hudson and some decent restaurants in the area. Unfortunately the truly superb nearby coffee shop was a covid casualty.
For Marriots there’s also the Residence Inn by Marriott Jersey City which I never stayed in but is right above the Grove St. PATH station which takes you to either WTC or 33rd St. You don’t get the views but there’s an even larger selection of good restaurants within walking distance.
And the Courtyard by Marriot Newport is right near the Pavonia Newport PATH station.
Carolinas, Florida, and Montana if you really want to get away. Some Florida real estate has been hot for years and continues so.
The house next to mine in NJ went up for sale yesterday afternoon. Over 1100 views on Zillow in less than a day. The last two houses that sold on my block had people buying with NY license plates. I would bet that I’m going to have neighbors from NY soon.
Sounds good and I’ll wait if I go that route (gets me closer to some of my preferred golf courses). It’s starting to cool down after the Covid euphoria, as sellers are now waiting much longer to get reasonable offers in NJ. There is now more supply than demand as NJ leads the nation in % of people moving-out than moving-in.
