Description
Since the 1980s Droyer's Point has been developed as a residential and recreation area. At its southern end is the Athletic Complex of New Jersey City University - its other locations are further inland on the West Side. Just to the north are the residential communities built by the Hovnanian Enterprises. Construction was delayed until there was remediation of chromium found at the site. Known as Society Hill, built in the late 1980s and Droyer's Point, built in the mid 2000s, the complex includes condominium and rental townhomes and apartments and includes amenities such as pools, tennis courts, and a marina. Completed portions of the Hackensack RiverWalk, a public waterfront promendade which is accessible to the public through entrances outside the development, run along the shoreline.
