Mark, are you talking about co-ops, or condos? There is a difference; When you purchase a co-op, you actually purchase a certain amount of shares and usually have to have an interview with a board that is in charge of a co-op, with a condo, it is similar to owning a house. According to NJMLS, there are no co-ops available for sale, only condos, and there are 12 co-ops in Fort Lee. You have to pay maintenance in each one and depending on a board in a co-op, or an association in condominimum, it includes various things. Maintenance on a 2 br 1 bath in Fort Lee ranges from $600.00 to $1500.00 p.m. depending on a building. If you would like more information, or would like to see what's available, contact me directly. I will help you in any way I can.

You must ask the listing agent as each one is different and each building is different. Also, different buildings have different ratios needed for co-op board approval, and different %'s of the portion of the maintenance that pertains to taxes.

Let me give you 2 examples in Fort Lee. A co op unit at 2400 Hudson Terrance with 2 beds and a bath is offered at $165,000. It is a co op and the maintenance is $1,015. A similar unit at 1450 Palasade Ave is offered at $349,000 and the maintenance is $770. This is a condo.
Drop me an email and I will try to explain the pros and cons of the 2 types of ownership,. For good reason Co ops are not that well regarded in New Jersey.

Hello Mark,
The maintenance depends on what kind of building (amenities) you are looking for. It runs from $570/mo for 1 bedroom apartment in Plateau Gardens to $3,540.00/mo for 2 br 2.5 bth in Plaza. Just in case I what to add, usually co-op maintenance include maintenance of the property, taxes and at least some utilities. Every building has its own rules. Let me know your price range and what amenities would you like to have and I'll e-mail you matching listings. My e-mail: sofia_hom@hotmail.com
Good luck,
