RIVA POINTE SUITE #905/907 WEEHAWKEN, NJ RESIDENCE:  3 Bedroom, 2-1/2 bath, 1750 SF with 2 balconiies, 2 fireplaces, 2 Jacuzzi bathtubs, 2 garage parking spaces and 2 storage spaces.  All this comes with magnificent, panoramic views of Manhattan midtown and uptown skyscrapers, the Hudson River with passing cruise ships, a marina and the palisades cliffs. One glance shows the extent of traffic headed to Manhattan on the Lincoln Tunnel helix. A great home for boat owners and those commuting to Manhattan, with adjoining ferry stop, one stop bus to Port Authority Terminal (8th Ave & 42 Street) and 4 blocks shortcut to Lincoln Tunnel. 

 AMMENITIES: Additionally, Riva Pointe is one of very few complexes with an all-year heated, indoor swimming pool as well as a sizeable gym with brand new equipment. The center courtyard provides a safe, sheltered and private outdoor area for a short stroll or for young children to play. This also allows cross-ventilation from your front entry or window through to your rear balcony door or rear window (an advantage usually found only in townhouses.) The end of the pier, down a second grand staircase, opens onto a large, open area that provides residents and guests a panoramic view of Manhattan, from the George Washington Bridge, on the left, to the Verrazano Bridge, on the right. Additionally, the Fourth of July, Macy's fireworks display now takes place right in front of this area. (From the balconies of #905/907, you can watch fireworks from four of the five barges.) There is also a convenience store right next to the front entrance.

 LOCATION: This is absolutely the best location for commuters who work in Manhattan. The bus to Manhattan (next stop, Port Authority Terminal at Eighth Avenue and 42 Street) stops right in front. There is a Manhattan-bound ferry stop right next to the front of the complex, which takes people to the 38th Street Terminal with shuttle buses that, for no additional charge, take people to various areas of midtown Manhattan. For going to Manhattan by car, the Lincoln Tunnel is just a few blocks away and can be accessed in a fraction of the time taken by people from other areas, even in heavy traffic. .

 NEARBY: The UBS Building directly across from Riva Pointe, contains a Chase Bank branch, a number of shops, including a clothes cleaner/tailor, shoe repair, hair stylist, delicatessen and food court.  Houlihans Restaurant and the famous Ruth's Chris Steakhouse are also right there. Just steps to the left, is the Sheraton Hotel with the Massina Restaurant. An easy walk to the right brings you to The Chart House Restaurant with the most magnificent view of the Manhattan cityscape imaginable. For walkers or bikers, a short way across the Park Avenue Bridge brings you to Hobokens Washington Street with many restaurants, shops, and other areas such as the beautiful downtown riverfront walkways and public piers.  An easy walk to the right brings you to a new riverfront park with a magnificent view of Manhattan, containing athletic fields, tennis courts, a 1/4 mile track and other facilities.  A few miles north, along River Road, by car or bus, takes you to a large shopping complex and other stores such as Trader Joes and Whole Foods.

 TRAVEL: From the Riva Pointe garage, a few blocks drive takes you to the entry of Interstate 495 West, and to North and South entries to the New Jersey Turnpike, less than 3 miles away. Or take Rt. 3, to the right, leading to the Garden State Parkway or Route 17. Turn right from the RP garage and take River Road, north, to the George Washington Bridge or, just beyond, to the beautiful Palisades Parkway. Take time to stop at one or more of the scenic overlooks for a fantastic view of the Hudson and the opposite side. Continuing on, you will reach the NYS Thruway, where you can go east, across the Tappan Zee Bridge to Tarrytown, or North to the greater part of New York State.
