well hellooooo neighbor!

A year ago I introduced you to one of our favorite northwest Hoboken residents - the famous corner ranch mystery. Well, it seems my argument to relocate now has a stronger case. A new neighbor has just popped up, right next door, and boy are they an over achiever or what?! Six stories of wonder!


Progress marches on, and there's something, just....well...I don't know.........oh maybe a weeee little bit awkward about the low-rise scale of this cute one story ranch. Although well maintained, we feel even stronger now that it may be time for her to pack it in and retire to Florida.


Just Sell Already! Or, maybe install a pool on your ranch roof, and the next door neighbor can put up a cool slide from their 6th floor perch? At least for summer maybe? Pool parties rule.

digging for gold

Remember everyone's favorite princess who's been sitting on a mountain of cash all these years? Yes, that's her ranch house on the corner there, next to 1000 Jefferson. Well whomever owns the empty land next to her has smartened up and is about to build! Check it out...

gotcha!

The mystery has been revealed! After months of wondering who is living in this future goldmine, sandwiched between two major redevelopments, I have finally snapped the money shot! She's the proud owner of this lovely ranch style corner lot home that is just begging to be retired to real estate heaven. If I was her, I'd SELL - she would get a FORTUNE for her property. She does take great care of her home though, it's clean and well kept, and the yard is always perfect. She just keeps the blinds shut all the time, and the empty yard attached to the left of her home is now full of tall growing wild flowers:


She's also put up various signs to show other NW Hobokenites that she is a warm and friendly neighbor. You know - signs that scream "Hey you, come on over for a glass of iced tea, let's hang out on the porch and get to know each other!" Here's one example:


Ladies and Gents, I give to you, the big reveal. Drum roll please.............



* Her identity will remain a closely guarded secret, kept hidden behind the infamous magenta face dot.

mr. horse needs to gallop away

Prime real estate on Jefferson! Alert! I'm sure the city can skirt the local building code rules and push through a 300 story skyscraper. Can't wait!


Do you think Mr. Horse is included in the asking price?

the last holdout

Whomever this person is- they are sitting on a gold mine. They are also about to be swallowed up by massive redevelopement. With all of the construction around, it looks a bit strange seeing this ranch style house just parked on such a prime corner lot. This one needs to cash out and move to Florida. Doors locked. Blinds shut. No pulse, whatsoever.
