Union City, Hudson County
What we see in Union City
Union City sits on the lower Hudson Palisades and is the only Hudson County municipality surrounded entirely by others: Hoboken, Jersey City, North Bergen, Weehawken, and West New York. It formed in 1925 when West Hoboken and Union Hill merged, and Route 495 cuts through on its way to the Lincoln Tunnel. About 69,000 people live in its 1.3 square miles, mostly in brownstones, two-family homes, and apartment buildings.
Selling a house in Union City: what's different here
Brownstones and two-families
Union City has long been made up mostly of brownstones, two-family homes, and small locally owned businesses. Many of these buildings are a century old, with aging boilers, plumbing, and wiring that lenders and inspectors will flag. We buy Union City two-families and brownstones in their current condition.
Rent control
Union City has local rent control, and at least one apartment complex was found to be covered after tenants challenged it. If you own a rented building, current rents and leases shape what a buyer will pay. We buy Union City rental properties with tenants in place and take over the existing leases.
Embroidery era buildings
Schiffli lace machines once made Union City the embroidery capital of the United States, and the industry declined by the late 1990s. The Park Performing Arts Center now has an exhibit on that history. We buy mixed-use buildings and older homes in Union City as-is.

Questions from Union City sellers
Union City FAQ
My Union City two-family has long-term tenants paying low rent. Will you buy it?
Yes. We buy occupied buildings in Union City, including rent-controlled units, and keep the leases in place at closing.
The house I inherited near Bergenline Avenue has an old boiler and needs a lot of work. Do I have to fix it first?
No. We buy Union City houses as-is, with old systems and repairs left for us to handle after closing.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Union City house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Hudson County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
