JERSEY CITY - NEWPORT

Nestled on the shoreline of the Hudson River, the neighborhood of Newport in Jersey City is one of the liveliest and bustling communities in the area. Newport is a waterfront community with state-of-the art office buildings, residential towers and entertainment facilities.
As the area began its development in the 1980s, Newport is fairly new and, as a result, has been able to attract many New Yorkers and young couples who find the area fresh and relaxing, yet urbanized and energetic.
Residents of Newport enjoy all that Jersey City real estate has to offer. First, there is the popular 1.2 million square-foot Newport Centre Mall, featuring anchor stores like Macy’s and Sears. Second, the assorted collection of retail shops, simply known as the Newport River Market, houses such staples as Target, Starbucks and Linens & Things. Third, the Restaurants at Newport offer a delightful dining experience right on the shore of the Hudson.
Jersey City real estate also includes numerous office buildings with the Newport Office Center being one of the major ones in the neighborhood. The structure of 8 buildings house major companies like JP Morgan Chase and Jet Airways and encompasses over 5 million square feet of office space.
Newport also just recently added two brand-name hotels as part of the city’s Master Redevelopment Plan. The 187-room Courtyard by Marriott opened several years ago and earlier in 2009 the luxury brand Westin made its mark on the city with a 429-room hotel right on the Hudson’s promenade walkway.
The residential options in Jersey City real estate range from single-family homes to condominiums and apartments. In Newport, the main choices are condos and apartments, and they come in a wide range of styles. Some are in buildings with simple, brick-façades and others overlook the water while tucked away in sleek and modern high-rises. Because the city was recently developed in the past twenty years or so, many of the high-rise residences in Newport are fairly new with two stylish buildings just completed in the past few years.
The best part about living in Newport is that its residents can enjoy all the benefits of New York City from a charming place just across the river. In fact, many buildings in lower Manhattan can be seen from across the Hudson, including the prominent World Financial Center. It is also very easy to travel to New York from Newport and Jersey City real estate, as there are several transportation routes that include the Holland Tunnel, PATH train, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and the BillyBey Ferry Company.
