JERSEY CITY, N.J. — New York Waterway has expanded its commuter ferry service between Manhattan and Port Liberté to offer continuous weekday and weekend routes throughout the day and into the evenings.
Passage from the luxury waterfront community's onsite ferry terminal will now include convenient weekday access to Pier 11 near Wall Street, as well as weekend service to the World Financial Center, and the West 38th St. terminal in mid-town via a transfer at Newport.
The weekday ferries will run every 40 minutes during rush hour and every hour during off-peak times. The weekend ferries will run hourly.
"The expanded service is an invaluable asset to our residents, most of whom commute to Manhattan for both employment and to enjoy its numerous recreational and cultural pursuits," notes David Barry, President of Applied Development Company, Port Liberté's developer.
"There's really nothing quite like living on the water, and there's really nothing quite like commuting by ferry. We're delighted our residents can now enjoy that convenient and stress-free amenity for either business or pleasure on a much more complete schedule."
Applied is currently marketing The Townhomes at Port Liberté, a collection of 34 two- and three-story residences which is nearly sold out. The townhomes boast three and four spacious bedrooms, rear yards and patios and a host of luxury amenities and features. Preconstruction prices start at $559,000 for three-bedroom townhomes, $775,000 for three-bedroom-plus-loft townhomes and $1,295,000 for select four-bedroom townhomes with 180 degree views of the river and Statue of Liberty.
Many of the new residences will have unobstructed views of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor. Others will be alongside or near a planned championship-caliber, 18-hole golf course which is currently under development and is designed to meander along the riverfront.
A number of distinctive luxury townhouse plans are available in the new collection of homes. Expansive floor plans are notable for such attributes as high ceilings, large foyers, natural oak strip floors, spacious terraces and patios, oversized windows, reserved parking and a host of custom-level finishes and appointments.
"Tailored kitchens are distinguished by dramatic cherry cabinets with granite countertops, an under mounted stainless steel sink, under counter lighting, and a full stainless steel GE Profile appliance package," notes Adrienne Albert, President of The Marketing Directors, Inc., Port Liberté's exclusive sales agent. "Lavish master baths offer Botticino marble floors and tub surrounds, magnificent Corian vanity tops with double sinks, large soaking tubs, separate glass-enclosed showers and Kohler fixtures."
Residents at Port Liberté also enjoy a multitude of onsite amenities. These include a fully-equipped health club/fitness center overlooking the river, a resort-style swimming pool, tennis courts, children's play area, 24-hour gatehouse security, an on-site retail plaza and a waterfront promenade with an incomparable panorama of the ever-changing river scene. There's also the on-site Port Liberté Spa and The Pointe restaurant, one of Hudson County's finest.
Much of the community's appeal is derived from its private waterfront setting which affords residents a quiet neighborhood atmosphere that is only minutes from Manhattan.
"In addition to the on-site ferry, the Holland Tunnel and the New Jersey Turnpike are easily accessible. Residents also enjoy the community's convenience to Liberty State Park, Jersey Gardens and the Newport Mall, Newark International Airport and a number of other Hudson County 'Gold Coast' attractions."
Port Liberté's sales office is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m For more information call (201) 536-0300.
