Waters Edge, Elizabeth, New Jersey…

The dynamic working waterfront is now home to over 1000 newly constructed housing units attracting great business, vibrant neighbors, and new energy.

Founded in 1665, Elizabeth is part of Union County and was New Jersey’s first state capital. Since then, it has grown to be the fourth largest city in the state with a population representing more than 50 countries and 37 language groups---making it one of the most ethnically diverse Urban Enterprise Zones in the Metropolitan area. There are a variety of retail shops, restaurants and specialty stores situated amid the many parks, libraries, municipal buildings and residences in the City’s eight distinct neighborhoods. Jersey Gardens Mall and Loews Jersey Gardens Theatre is located right off of Exit 13A of the New Jersey Turnpike and is the largest mall and cinema complex of its kind on the East Coast.

Elizabeth is also the most accessible City on the East Coast, centered in a vast network of commuter and commercial transportation lines including Newark Liberty International Airport, NJ Transit train/bus stations, New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, Routes 1 & 9, and Port Elizabeth/Newark Seaport, the largest industrial seaport in North America.

From historic days and deep roots in the country’s industrial era, to its prospering future as a center for urban life, Elizabeth is a successful place for people to live and businesses to flourish.
