Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This small but modern home is squeaky clean, has a pleasing interior, and its own washer and dryer, but the location is less than ideal. With its proximity to the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel, which is the main travel link between New York and New Jersey, this area revolves around that piece of infrastructure. Not only is there dense traffic and thus, a lot of traffic noise, but there are a many parking lots in this area to cater to the commuters. Nonetheless, if you can see past this flaw, this home is good value for money.
