If you’re looking for a home with stunning views, look no further than Riva Pointe. Located on a pier that extends 1,000 feet into the Hudson River, this luxury complex is surrounded by water on three sides.
The noise of the city fades away as you stroll Riva Pointe Weehawken past benches adorned with rose bushes and ornate lamp posts. The waterfront views are awe-inspiring – you’ll feel like you could reach across the Hudson and touch Manhattan. “It’s a place you’d see in world-class waterfront cities such as Hong Kong, Sydney and Venice,” says a real estate agent on the property’s website.
Donald Stitzenberg, a 72-year-old retired Merck executive, has lived here since 1995 and says he can’t imagine moving. His apartment, in a corner on the third floor, was untouched by Hurricane Sandy — though he concedes his million-dollar view isn’t nearly as nice when all of lower Manhattan turns off its lights at night.
