In Addition to an Increase in Rent, Marine View Residents Offered Opportunity to Own Their Apartment in Hoboken

 Marineview Towers residents were offered the chance to buy their own units at affordable prices. Built in 1975, the two apartment buildings. have a combined 432 units/25 stories. The address is 10 3rd St, Hoboken, NJ 07030. 

The proposed rent increase for 2025 as explained in the documentation below is around 9.5%


For those wondering about the rough estimate of buying an average apartment in Marine View--- here is a very preliminary calculation. 

To estimate the monthly mortgage payment for an apartment selling for $450,000, several factors need to be considered:

  1. Down Payment: Typically 20% ($90,000) is standard, but it can vary.
  2. Loan Amount: For a 20% down payment, the loan would be $360,000.
  3. Interest Rate: Current mortgage interest rates for excellent credit (e.g., a 750 credit score) are around 6.5% for a 30-year fixed loan as of late 2024. Rates may vary based on market conditions and lender offers.
  4. Loan Term: Usually 30 years.
  5. Property Taxes and Insurance: Varies by location but can add approximately 1.25%-1.5% of the home’s value annually.

Estimated Calculation (Assuming a 20% Down Payment):

  • Principal and Interest: For a $360,000 loan at 6.5% interest for 30 years, the formula yields about $2,276 per month.
  • Taxes and Insurance: Adding roughly 1.25% annually ($450,000 x 1.25% = $5,625/year or $469/month).

Total Monthly Payment:

Approximately $2,745/month, including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance.
