The Hudson Tea Building
Over the years I have had several Hoboken buyers who came to me saying that they require a quiet condo to live in. While the location mattered, they were also concerned about the type of construction. In the Hoboken and Jersey City area, we have 2 main types of construction; steel & concrete and frame construction. Many of the older construction properties (4-8 unit brownstone/row homes) which were originally built 70 to 100 years ago are more than likely frame buildings. These buildings tend to have limited sound isolation between the floors. In recent years new technologies have allowed the placement of a sound blanket or sound foam under the hardwood floors to lessen the noise in frame buildings.
For Hoboken buyers who are concerned about noise between the floors, a steel and concrete building may be your best option. These buildings typically have 8 inches of concrete and reinforced steel between the floors. Unless your neighbor is dropping bowling balls all night, the noise should be greatly reduced.
