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.

“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”

“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)
