ENGLEWOOD, NJ – Attractively-priced, full-service condominium communities in New Jersey’s immediate New York City suburbs continue to experience strong sales activity from young couples and single-professionals looking to flee the escalating Manhattan rental market.
Bryan Forbes, a recent purchaser at The M at Englewood South in this Bergen County City, is one of the many first-time homebuyers tired of New York City’s skyrocketing apartment pricing and heading across the Hudson River to purchase a brand new condominium well within his budget and still enjoy an activity-rich environment near a wealth of modern services, restaurants and conveniences,
“I was looking for more space than I could afford in Manhattan and was tired of paying New York City taxes,” Mr. Forbes points out. “I was ready to buy a new home.”
Fully prepared to move on from his pricey midtown Manhattan apartment, Mr. Forbes knew exactly what he was looking for in his first home. Among the most important attributes he desired were a close proximity to New York City, a location near a vibrant downtown setting and the ease of maintenance-free living.
“I exclusively searched condominium homes in Bergen County,” Mr. Forbes points out. “A friend had purchased a home at The M and referred me to the sales office.
“After looking at other homes in Bergen County, I quickly realized The M was the best value I saw in the area. The condominiums were brand new and offered an open and spacious floorplan. I was also attracted to the location right off Route 4, the on-site parking and the available amenities, including the outdoor pool and one-year gym membership.”
The M at Englewood South’s address less than 12 miles to New York City and minutes from downtown Englewood where more than 300 stores and restaurants are available fully satisfied Mr. Forbes’s desire to be close to work and a city-inspired setting.
“I love the fact that it’s such easy access to New York City, especially considering I still commute to Midtown daily,” he continues. “Englewood itself has a great downtown, with nice restaurants and a lot for kids to do. I also feel that Englewood is an area that will see significant property value growth in the coming years.”
More than 60% of the condominium homes at The M at Englewood South are now sold thanks to its competitive pricing and ability to provide a variety of incentive and financing programs that open the door to homeownership for many first-time buyers.
