Modern loft living on the Jersey City-Hoboken border

Zephyr Lofts stands as a testament to urban renewal in The Waterfront neighborhood, straddling the border between Jersey City and Hoboken. This 13-story condominium, completed in 2005, houses 102 units within its modern structure. The building's design incorporates elements of its industrial past, as it was originally constructed in 1918 as a refrigerated warehouse before its conversion to residential use. Situated in a prime location, Zephyr Lofts offers residents easy access to both cities' amenities while providing a tranquil living environment with views of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River.

Spacious lofts with soaring ceilings and city views

Zephyr Lofts offers a variety of floor plans to suit different lifestyles, ranging from studios to expansive four-bedroom units. Studios, starting at 575 square feet, provide an efficient living space for singles or couples. One-bedroom units, spanning 827 to 916 square feet, are available from $499,060 to $557,052, offering ample room for comfortable living. Two-bedroom layouts, approximately 1,000 square feet, are priced between $613,742 and $754,732, ideal for small families or those desiring extra space. Four-bedroom units are also available, providing options for larger households. The lofts feature industrial-chic design elements, including soaring ceilings up to 15 feet high and oversized windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Many units boast breathtaking views of the New York City skyline, particularly the Empire State Building. Hardwood floors run throughout, complementing the open-concept layouts. Kitchens are equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and in some units, breakfast bars for casual dining. Recent renovations in select units have introduced high-end finishes such as custom motorized shades, Trane HVAC systems, and updated bathrooms featuring Duravit fixtures and quartzite stone countertops. Storage is abundant, with many units offering custom-built closets, pantries, and additional utility rooms. In-unit washers and dryers come standard, adding convenience to daily life. Some apartments include private outdoor spaces, perfect for enjoying the urban scenery or a morning coffee.

Full-service living with urban comforts

Zephyr Lofts provides a range of amenities designed to enhance the urban living experience. The building is secured by a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, ensuring residents' safety and convenience. A state-of-the-art fitness center allows residents to maintain their workout routines without leaving the building. The outdoor courtyard serves as a communal gathering space, featuring charcoal grills and picnic tables ideal for al fresco dining and socializing. Pet owners will appreciate the on-site dog run, making the building pet-friendly and accommodating to four-legged residents. For cyclists, the building offers secure bike storage, promoting an eco-friendly lifestyle. Parking is available in the form of an indoor garage, a valuable asset in an area where street parking can be challenging. The building also features a package management system, streamlining deliveries for residents. Elevators service all floors, and central air conditioning keeps the common areas comfortable year-round. The building's industrial heritage is evident in its design, blending modern amenities with historic charm to create a unique living environment in the heart of the urban landscape.

Urban convenience meets waterfront charm

The Waterfront neighborhood, straddling Jersey City and Hoboken, offers a vibrant mix of urban amenities and scenic beauty. Often referred to as New York City's sixth borough due to its proximity and easy commute to Manhattan, this area attracts young professionals and families seeking a balance of city life and community feel. Newport Centre Mall, just a short walk away, houses major retailers like Macy's, JCPenney, and Kohl's, alongside popular brands such as Zara and Uniqlo. For everyday needs, residents have easy access to several supermarkets, including Morton Williams and ACME Markets, both within a five to fifteen-minute walk. The neighborhood boasts an array of dining options. Chango Kitchen, a laid-back Cuban eatery, is just a ten-minute stroll from Zephyr Lofts. For quick bites, familiar chains like Shake Shack and Chick-fil-A are nearby. The area also features upscale dining experiences, with Michelin-appointed DOMODOMO offering exquisite sushi in an elegant setting. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several parks. Newport Green Park, a ten-minute walk away, offers a unique urban beach experience alongside play structures and botanical gardens. Nearby, Pier A Park provides scenic views of the Manhattan skyline, perfect for evening strolls or weekend picnics. For fitness buffs, the neighborhood offers multiple gym options beyond the building's facility. Crunch Fitness and Fitness Factory Health Club are both within a 15 to 20-minute walk, providing additional workout variety. The area's family-friendly nature is evident in its educational offerings. While high schools like Dr. Ronald McNair High School (with top ratings from GreatSchools and Niche) are a short drive away, the Rafael Cordero y Molina School (P.S. 37) serves younger students within walking distance. Living in The Waterfront means enjoying the best of urban living – convenient shopping, diverse dining, ample green spaces, and easy access to Manhattan – all while maintaining a sense of community and waterfront tranquility.

Seamless connectivity to Manhattan and beyond

Zephyr Lofts' location offers residents exceptional transportation options, making commutes and city exploration effortless. The area's high walkability means many daily needs can be met on foot, while robust public transit options connect residents to the wider metropolitan area. The Hoboken PATH station, a mere 10-minute walk from the building, provides direct access to Manhattan. Trains run frequently to key destinations like 33rd Street and the World Trade Center, making daily commutes to New York City convenient and reliable. For those working in New Jersey, the Hoboken Terminal, about a 15-minute walk away, serves as a major transit hub. It offers access to numerous NJ Transit train lines, including the Bergen County, Main, and North Jersey Coast lines, connecting to various parts of the state. The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail enhances local travel, with the 2nd Street station just a 10-minute walk away. This light rail system connects Jersey City, Hoboken, and surrounding areas, providing an efficient means of exploring the region. For those preferring bus travel, a stop at Observer Highway and Luis Munoz Marin Boulevard is less than five minutes away on foot, offering additional commuting options. Cyclists will find the area accommodating, with bike-friendly streets and dedicated lanes in many parts of the neighborhood. The building's bike storage facility further encourages this eco-friendly mode of transport. For car owners, the building's garage parking is a significant asset in an area where street parking can be challenging. The proximity to major roadways provides easy access to the Holland Tunnel for Manhattan-bound drivers, while Routes 78 and 1/9 offer quick connections to other parts of New Jersey. Air travelers benefit from the relatively close proximity to three major airports. Newark Liberty International Airport is about a 15-minute drive, while LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International airports are reachable in 30 to 40 minutes by car, traffic permitting. The combination of walkability, extensive public transit options, and strategic location makes Zephyr Lofts an ideal base for those who value efficient and varied transportation choices in their urban lifestyle.
