LEVITTOWNBEYOND ADDS...
Located nearly at the geographic centroid of New Jersey and equidistant from City Hall in Philadelphia and Times Square in Manhattan, Contempra at Monmouth Heights is the farthest removed of any of the Levitt and Sons communities in New Jersey from a major metropolitan center. Marketing of Contempra relates the community to New York City. It is likely that the availability of bus and rail transportation to Manhattan is what links the area more to New York City than to Philadelphia. In addition, the community is just off Route U.S. 9--a north-south highway typically perceived as the link between Central New Jersey and the northern cities and suburbs, via the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike. The trip to Philadelphia, though a comparable distance, is not quite as direct: good roads are availble for the trip (N.J. 33 Freeway, I-295 or the New Jersey Turnpike, and one of the Delaware River bridges), but each runs in a different direction (east to west, north to south). Travel is likely perceived as being more difficult or less direct, even though it is the same distance and probably less congestion for most of the trip as compared with U.S. 9 to the Parkway and Turnpike, and then to one of the crossings to New York City.
About the homes: these are large, spacious homes. And they are on "estate sized" lots of a minimum 5/8 acre.
