Maxwell Place on the Hudson
For many buyers, Maxwell Place simply is the Hoboken waterfront: four condominium buildings wrapped around a private riverfront park, with resort amenities and the 14th Street ferry at the door.
Maxwell Place is where I would send a buyer who asks for the fullest version of Hoboken waterfront living: two pools, two gyms, a concierge who knows your name, a waterfront park at the door, and a Manhattan skyline that starts at the 11th Street pier. I have sold five homes at 1125 Maxwell Lane since 2021 and I own an investment unit there myself, so this guide is written from the inside: which of the four buildings does what, which lines carry the views, what the dues really cover, and what the recent sales say.

The four buildings, and how buyers choose
1125 Maxwell Lane is the one most buyers mean when they say Maxwell Place: waterfront, 12 stories, 169 homes, the Michael Graves interiors, and the pool deck. It is where I have done all five of my sales in the community. 1025 Maxwell Lane, the first phase, is also on the water and shares the resort feel; its homes were the original template for the community. 1100 Maxwell Lane (2016) is the newest of the residential buildings, set back one row from the river, with a more contemporary finish package, a residents’ lounge, and indoor parking; it sold out in early 2017. 1000 Maxwell is the last piece, set back like 1100 and built with office space below the homes; it also runs its own condominium association with its own amenity package, separate from the rest of the community, so confirm exactly which amenities come with a 1000 Maxwell home.
The trade offs are simple. The waterfront buildings command the view premium and the highest dues; the set back buildings offer newer construction and a lower entry price with the same park, pools, and concierge culture a short walk away. Buyers tend to gravitate to the larger two plus den and three bedroom layouts at 1125 and 1100; downsizers and NYC transplants tend to buy the one bedroom plus dens, which live like small two bedrooms.
The lines that set the price
At 1125 Maxwell, the homes that face south and east over the park and the river carry the premium, and it grows with the floor. The unit I own here, a south facing two bedroom plus den with partial water views on the 11th floor, sits in the sweet spot for a lot of buyers: the view without the top floor price. Courtyard and west facing homes are the value buy, and they are quieter. Floor plans matter as much as exposure here because the building has an unusual number of layouts; a 1,070 sq ft two bedroom with an efficient plan can live larger than a 1,200 sq ft home with a long hallway.
Documented sales at Maxwell Place
My own closings at 1125 Maxwell Lane, all public record and listed on my Track Record page:
| Unit | Year | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 615 | 2026 | $1,400,000 |
| 638 | 2024 | $1,720,000 |
| 1118 | 2024 | $1,470,000 |
| 1209 | 2022 | $1,500,000 |
| 802 | 2021 | $855,000 |
For context, in the summer of 2026 two bedroom homes of about 1,070 sq ft were asking $1,195,000 to $1,199,000 and a one bedroom plus den of 1,080 sq ft was asking $1,150,000, while rentals ran from about $5,500 for a large one bedroom to $6,400 for a two bedroom. The gap between a mid floor two bedroom near $1.2 million and my $1.72 million and $1.47 million closings is exposure, floor, and finish, which is exactly why I price these homes line by line.

What buyers should know
Decide which building before you decide which unit; the dues, the finishes, and the view economics differ. Ask for the association’s budget, reserve study, and the most recent financial statements for the specific building, and read the master association documents that govern the shared amenities, because both sets of dues matter. Confirm the parking space and whether it is deeded. And model the true monthly number: on a $1.4 million two bedroom, taxes and dues together can run $2,000 to $2,500 per month before the mortgage. That number is the reason some buyers choose 1400 Hudson or Hudson Tea instead, and it is also the reason Maxwell Place homes rent so well.
What sellers should know
The buyer pool here is specific: people who have decided they want Maxwell Place and are comparing your home to the other homes in the community, not to Hoboken at large. Price against your own line’s closed history, stage to show the view and the layout, and time the launch for a week when the pool deck is open if you can. My 2024 sales at $1.72 million and $1.47 million were set by inside the building comps and sold quickly because the pricing was defensible to the appraiser as well as to the buyer.
Quick answers about Maxwell Place
