How is it a scam to pay someone for their specific and learned knowledge about all the things you are asking about? You want intimate and specific info from a reliable source and you aren’t willing to pay for this info. So you’ll do it yourself. But then you want others to give you the info that the one person who’s profession is to know what you want to know, would know. But yet you don’t want to pay them?
And many of the high rises actually pay the realtor a finders fee anyway so in many cases you would still get this info for free. Additional since it’s a high rise you would only have to pay 1/2 the fee since your realtor doesn’t have to share the fee with a co-broker (other side of the transaction).
Find a reputable realtor from DTJC and they’ll know all the answers from the perspective of multiple people they have housed at the variety of buildings you are asking about. Rather then get one off antidotes for a single perspective experience or passing conversation with a friend.

Good point. OP, for context, there’s three towers and each was built one after the other. 50 is the oldest, then came 70, and 90 is the newest (which is the one I’m in). They all share the same amenities though.

Reply to Weehawken v/s Jersey City by Maximum_gravity_98
I think the part of Weehawken affected the most by Sandy is the small neighborhood near the exxon station (near the exit to the Lincoln tunnel). The waterfront also flooded but most buildings escaped major damage.
Lincoln Harbor is nice because you're a short walk into Hoboken, there's a whole foods right there, and easy bus/ferry access to nyc (or light rail into Hoboken/JC). A lot of newer buildings, plus more going up as we speak. Downside is rents are high (over $3k for a 1 bedroom).
Port imperial is another solid option - a lot of what I said for Lincoln Harbor also applies here. But it's a bit farther from Hoboken so not really walkable. Same newer buildings, same high rents.
Weehawken above the cliff is much more similar to jersey city heights. Older colonial housing. Limited parking. But gorgeous views by Blvd East. Bus or jitney is the main transportation method to nyc. Rents will be lower unless you're right on Blvd East.

Reply to Game on! Jersey City school district OKs $1 million expansion of esports programs by JohnnyVanderbilt
Half the kids can’t read and two thirds can’t math at grade level but they want to spend $1M on esports. The BOE mafia are the most corrupt and inept assholes on earth.

Wow, you've done a ton of homework here! One other thing you may or may not know, is that the rents on units change, nearly every day. When you find a couple of properties you like, monitor their rent prices for a while. I moved from one unit to another in the same building, and watching the rent prices really paid off for getting a bigger place. Still paying more, but would have paid a lot more if the homework hadn't been done.

It’s crazy right. 4 hour wait times with a appointment, getting billed 4k for a Covid test. I could find one open yesterday.

+1 to OneMedical. They were acquired by Amazon last year so I'm curious if that will prompt more expansion.

I’ve lived at Windsor at Liberty House for five years and we love it. Fabulous management (not something you’d think you’d ever say about apartment building management, but they’re great), gorgeous street in Paulus Hook by some great restaurants, and I think it meets all your criteria. Only thing I’m not sure about is the dog breed restrictions since I don’t have a pet, but there are some pretty large pups on my floor so I think you’d be okay.

Would this be suitable for someone working 9-5ish or does it tend to happen during the day?

Parking - I’ve gotten way too many tickets in Manhattan. While I do get the occasional one here (and even got towed at one point), the stress that comes with leaving your car is significantly lower here.

Robin that is not true. The old ice compressors cannot be fixed. The old system must be replaced entirely.

Reply to Why is planning allowing this building? Eli5 by Jctexan
You are correct. The corporation opposed it until they got the project. The main question is this: who is remediation the land? It contains chromium 6, just about the worst chemical you could have in your neighborhood. To remediate it for residential use is the most thorough and expensive type of cleaning. As far as I know, no one is required to do it. If it isn't completed, they can not build.

I'm a Torontonian living in Hoboken and think it's the greatest city ever but will always give JC it's much deserved love. Unpopular opinion, but our side is way better than living in some random Brooklyn or Queens hipster paradise.
