25 Hudson
25 Hudson puts you on Paulus Hook’s waterfront blocks, where the esplanade, the ferry, and Exchange Place PATH are all a short walk.
25 Hudson Street, sold as Liberty Terrace, holds the southern corner of Paulus Hook where the Hudson River meets the Morris Canal, which gives it something no tower north of it has: harbor views that take in the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Lower Manhattan from a nine story building on a waterfront walkway with a public kayak launch at the adjacent Morris Canal Park. It was completed in 2006 with roughly 120 to 130 homes (published counts conflict), garage parking arrangements worth confirming unit by unit, and an abatement whose remaining term should be confirmed before anything else. I sold unit 806 here for $915,000 in 2021.

What 25 Hudson is like to live in
The corner is the story. Standing where the river and the canal meet, the building looks at the harbor rather than across the river, so the views are wider and lower than the Exchange Place towers: the Statue of Liberty, the harbor traffic, and Lower Manhattan off to the left. The walkway along the canal is the neighborhood’s front porch, with the kayak launch in summer and Liberty State Park across the water, and the building’s nine stories keep it at a scale that fits the brownstone streets behind it. The residents are downtown professionals, NYC transplants who wanted the harbor at a Jersey City price, and owners who use the park; there is an investor share that rents to the same crowd. The trade offs are the age of original finishes and the tax question, which every buyer here needs to settle on paper.
The abatement question, plainly
Liberty Terrace’s abatement term is not publicly documented, and when any abatement ends, the last step is the largest: from the abated payment to the full city rate (Jersey City’s certified general rate is 2.335 percent of taxable assessed value for 2025). Two things follow. First, a listing’s tax line from last year may not be next year’s number, so confirm it with the assessor rather than the listing. Second, the buildings that have already crossed to full taxes trade on a real monthly number, which is a strength once the market has absorbed it; the buildings in transition trade with a discount for uncertainty. My Jersey City Abatement Checker reads any listing’s tax line against the schedule in seconds, and I model the monthly both ways for every buyer here.
The lines and floors that set the price
Corner and exposure first: the south and southeast facing homes on the upper floors carry the harbor and Statue of Liberty premium, and the corner homes with wraparound terraces are the best product in the building. Floor second: nine stories is enough to clear the walkway and the trees, and the top three floors carry the full view. Terrace third: outdoor space is what buyers pay for here over the towers. Layout and renovation last: the larger two bedrooms and the three bedrooms are scarce, and a renovated kitchen and bath move the number.
Documented sales at 25 Hudson
My own closing, public record and listed on my Track Record page:
| Unit | Year | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 806 | 2021 | $915,000 |
For context, in 2026 unit 111 closed at $699,000 at the entry end of the building, and unit 803, a large upper floor home, was asking $1,799,000, which shows the width of the range here: the view homes on the top floors are a different market from the courtyard homes below.
What buyers should know
Settle the tax question first, with the assessor, not the listing. Confirm the parking inclusion. Read the association’s financials and reserve study; a 2006 building with a concierge, a garage, and a waterfront walkway is on its first major replacement cycle. Check the flood designation, because the building stands on the canal and river edge; the homes above the ground floor carry only the building’s exposure, but the garage and the reserve for it matter. Then compare the true monthly number with 149 Essex, Pier House, and 77 Hudson; for a harbor view with a terrace, this building is usually the value.
What sellers should know
Lead with the corner: the harbor, the Statue of Liberty, the terrace, and the parking in the dues. Show the tax schedule rather than hide it; buyers who understand it still buy, and the ones who discover it in attorney review walk. Price from the building’s own closed history by exposure and floor, because the spread between a courtyard home and a top floor harbor home is wider here than almost anywhere in Paulus Hook.
