West Bergen is a good investment. Proximity to light rail as well as the TON of new developments coming to the Westside and to 440, including Bayside makes the area a good bet, IMO.

3/2 rents should go for $3k for a new build with washer/dryer.

Wow who’s paying 3k for West Bergen area?

A new build Bayonne Box further out got $3400 but also had parking, which pushes the rental price higher. Average is just over $2700 for a 3/2. For a new build, $3k is pretty standard.

Yeah, if you’re paying that much on rent on Bergen after Communipaw. You’re definitely left hold the bag

It’s a lot less $$$ than other areas, so a lot of people, especially those who want nice and new, don’t have a lot of options.

Same type of people who turned Bushwick into "East Williamsburg" in Brooklyn.
