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.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
