Lurker Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 boring was my thought as well. It looked old but not in a good way. Wow! I thought it was beautiful, myself... http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/104-Oak-Ridge-Ave-Summit-NJ-07901/40067901_zpid/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yes...please put some clothes on or stop standing in the window waving at me. What will my neighbor, Snooki, think!? She would notice I'm not exactly waving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have no clue why this house is viewed as nothing special. Awesome 4000+ Sqft house, with a yard, overlooking a park, 20 minutes outside of Manhattan, a nice burb with a walk to the train to the city, right off of 78.... Are you kidding me? Nothing special? If you're from WNY that place at 2.2 million is not special at all. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1032-Sweet-Rd_East-Aurora_NY_14052_M44169-74769?row=5 `To me anyway.

GG Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Something something Jersey, something something Snookie. To repeat for posterity, Snookie and nearly every other member of that show were from NYS. That's what happens when there's no toll to leave NY.

TakeYouToTasker Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Way to back up your ignorant statement. I'm sure my brand new apartment with a view of Manhattan pales in comparison to your home.Your apartment offers you a view of the shittiest city in America? /golfclap You know Snookie is from New York...She personifies the parts of Jersey that aren't filled with McMansions, mobsters, or afwul smells. Baby this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Usually stereotypes are based on some element of truth, and with New Jersey there are parts that aren't very nice. Port Elizabeth reminds me of what it smelled like driving to Niagara Falls from Buffalo in the 60s -- one chemical smell after another. So the jokes (the New Jersey state bird is the mosquito, the state gemstone is concrete, and the state tree is dead) make sense but only if you don't look around. Most of New Jersey is actually really nice. I read once it's the most densely forested state in the country. Lots of nice towns, close enough to NYC and Philly to get to big cities. Ocean beaches. Apparently not quite in NYS's league for corruption in politics. If anything I think it's overlooked because a lot of it's a bedroom for bigger cities elsewhere. That house looked really nice, IMHO. Property costs a lot there but that might be a realistic price, at least as a starting point for discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 nice house. 2.2 million seems about right for that area of Jersey. Would be much less expensive in other areas of the country, "obviously." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 lol 2.2 mill but no picture online? no thanks. no, but the map can show you a street view if you go to satellite view and zoom to street level. seems like a normal upper middle class area.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If you're from WNY that place at 2.2 million is not special at all. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1032-Sweet-Rd_East-Aurora_NY_14052_M44169-74769?row=5 `To me anyway. Hmmm... The implication is if you're from western New York you don't understand the impact location has on real estate price? Could be. I grew up there but certainly didn't ever consider the comps is Long Island compared to Batavia. Either way the link attached is a much better example of nothing special. (great point of reference!) A run of the mill 30% smaller vinyl sided attempt at looking larger than it is, under 3 ft of lake effect snow, in the middle of nowhere with no mass transit and a 0 walkability score. Where do they get off charging $700 for that outside of East Aurora??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The home of beautiful. The realtor, not so much. I wonder if Bledsoe's place in East Aurora is still for sale. Seemed similar in size and design and was under a Million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You couldn't pay me to live in New Jersey. You know nothing about NJ. All you know is the hellhole that the area right across from NYC. Anything above the GWB and the southern half of NJ are quite nice. The town Alpine is the wealthiest zip code in the US according to a Forbes report in 2012...yeah, you're right, it's a sh*thole.
