Two-bedroom apartments offer flexible layouts to accommodate all types of families and lifestyles, but buyers should be prepared to pay for the space. According to CityRealty listings, the median price of a two-bedroom condo in Manhattan is $2,447,714 ($1,862 per square foot). Brooklyn condos’ median price of $1,454,583 ($1,358 per square foot) offers something of a respite, but can still appear daunting to young buyers getting started in New York. However, sales have just launched across the Hudson River at The Riverview, a Jersey City boutique condominium where a collection of two-bedrooms starts at $635K.
The 13 apartments at The Riverview comprise standard two-bedrooms, three-bedroom duplexes with private terraces, and three-bedroom penthouses with private rooftop space facing the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River. Modern Spaces is marketing the apartments, and broker Jesse Toledano sees them as ideal for young couples and professionals seeking private outdoor space and amenities. They are housed in a five-story building designed by Hoboken-based MVMK Architecture, which features a brick corbel exterior and cast stone cornice.
The apartments range in size from 1,030 to 2,312 square feet, and are reached via smart entry. Upon arrival, the well laid out condos are flooded with natural light from oversized, energy-efficient windows. The interiors feature top-of-the-line finishes, including quartz countertops and Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and wide plank hardwood floors throughout. Pets are welcome at The Riverview, and amenities include a modern lobby reached via smart access, a package room, a ground-level bike room, and a 12-car parking garage with electric car chargers.
Residents of The Riverview also benefit from its address at 580 Palisade Avenue in The Heights neighborhood. This area is also known as the Riverview Arts District for the art venues, and it is also close to Riverview-Fisk Park, Washington Park, and Columbus Park. Local hot spots near the building include Taqueria Marin, Fox & Crow, The Cliff, lil dove cafe, Cocoa Bakery, and Dark Side of the Moo. The Ninth Street/Congress Street light rail station offers an easy commute to Hoboken, which in turn allows for easy access to the Financial District and Midtown Manhattan.
