Garden Homes Offers Enticing Options for Homebuyers in Bergen County

Garden Homes Development, one of the region’s largest homebuilders, is offering a variety of remaining townhomes and carriage homes for-sale at its three luxury residential communities in Bergen County.

CherryWood at River Vale is Garden Homes’ newest for-sale luxury community, offering quiet charm and elegance blended with suburban convenience in River Vale Township.
This lavishly-landscaped development, situated in a beautiful enclave bordered by Lake Tappan and River Vale Country Club, contains an intimate collection of two- and three- bedroom town homes and two-bedroom carriage homes with one- and two-car garages and full, unfinished basements. Six gracious floor plans are available.  Since opening its model residences less than a year ago, CherryWood has seen robust interest from prospective buyers. Traffic and sales at the community remain brisk, as the community welcomed its first residents last month.  Available homes range in price from the high $400,000’s to mid $500,000’s for carriage homes, and low $700,000's to high $800,000's for townhomes.

The town of River Vale provides a wide array of suburban conveniences and is just twenty minutes from Manhattan. “CherryWood at River Vale has appeal for everyone—it’s a great community for local residents downsizing but hoping to stay in the area, and golf enthusiasts will revel in the many public and private courses in close proximity,” noted Lori Dargento, sales associate for Garden Homes. “The River Vale area, graced with parks, preserves and  recreation, has ranked highly in both CNN Money Magazine and NJ Monthly Magazine ‘Best Places to Live’ polls.”

The Whitney at Allendale, another sought after new development, features 138 town homes and carriage homes in Bergen County’s lovely Allendale. Only a few homes remain in the first sales offering, with some units available immediately and many still available to customize.

“Not only are prospective buyers drawn to the excellent school system, but The Whitney is a great choice for commuters, as it’s just a short walk to the NJ Transit Allendale station, serviced by the Main Line and Bergen County Line trains,” said Marta DeSpirito, sales associate for Garden Homes. "The Whitney is also one of the few new developments in the area that offers a first floor master bedroom option, which has been a major draw for some homebuyers.”

This distinguished gated community features brick paver driveways, an outdoor pool, a playground, club house with fitness facility and state-of-the-art equipment, and a custom-designed great room, kitchen, and card room.

Altair, an intimate community of 187 condominium homes for active adults in Bergen County’s Elmwood Park, will soon welcome first residents to the development’s third residential building. Just a few residences remain from the community’s initial sales offering, which can be ready for late spring/early summer occupancy.

Prospective buyers have the opportunity to choose from well-appointed one- and two-bedroom residences ranging in size from 814 to 1,147 square feet. The homes feature spacious great rooms and master bedroom suites with walk-in closets, lavish master baths and private balconies. Designer appointments, which vary by home, include cherry cabinets, hardwood flooring, granite features and stainless steel appliances. In Building 3, prospective buyers have the option to completely customize their new home, selecting from a range of available upgrades, at a very reasonable cost.

Altair provides many leisure amenities and convenience items for homeowners. The community’s clubhouse is a well-appointed space featuring a fully-furnished great room with a stone fireplace and wood flooring, a large-screen television, and a gourmet kitchen. The clubhouse also features a card room, fully-equipped exercise room, library, office, and outdoor heated pool and spa. The expansive and fully-completed amenities space inspires homeowners to socialize during regular gatherings and holiday parties. Each Altair resident enjoys the complimentary use of an enclosed parking space and a storage locker, and has access on every condominium floor to a garbage chute and recycling room.
