Did you know that most homes K.Hovnanian builds in New Jersey are New Jersey Energy Star homes? But, you may not know what this means exactly... Just like the energy saving appliances you see in the store, New Jersey Energy Star homes are much more energy efficient than standard new construction. These tightly built single-family homes and townhomes address the usual problem areas with thicker, tighter-fitting insulation and sealed ductwork to minimize leaks. High performance, low-E windows control the sun's heat according to the season. The heating and cooling systems are installed to maximize energy efficiency. Only Energy Star qualified refrigerators, washers and dryers and other appliances are used. Even the light fixtures and bulbs use two-thirds less energy and last up to seven times longer. All of this adds up to big savings for the homeowner - from 15 to 30 percent on their annual energy bills! A standard home may cost $1,500 a year to heat while a similar Energy Star home could cut that by $450. These homes do cost more to build, but K. Hovnanian Homes does not need to pass the cost along to the homebuyer due to volume purchasing. The benefits are already paying off – New Jersey's Clean Energy program has saved enough energy to avoid building a new power plant.

From the color palette to the floor finishes to the soaring ceiling, every detail is focused to create dramatic, memorable spaces and a sense of welcome.

Even the lobby - the gateway to 77 Hudson – does double duty as a virtual art gallery. K. Hovnanian has partnered with the Victory Arts Projects to showcase cultural and artistic diversity with a changing schedule of exhibitions.

The hotel-quality amenities include a 24/7 concierge service, a spa/fitness center, yoga and pilates studio and a sauna/steam room. On the roof you'll find a 30,000 square foot garden park with a swimming pool, hot tub, lounge, bar, fire pit, jogging path and dog run. Public Wi-Fi spaces and a fully equipped business center may entirely eliminate your commute!

You must see for yourself what the buzz is all about! Priced from the $400's. Click here for more information on 77 Hudson.



The views from 77 Hudson showcase the beauty of skylines and sunrises, and make that beauty part of your home.

Don't Throw It Out – FREECYCLE IT!!! As local landfills continue to overflow, here is a way to think globally and act locally - Freecycle! If you are finished with your old computer, or grandma’s chair is just not cutting it in your new living room - don't throw them away! Just go to www.freecycle.org and find the user group in your area. You can post the item you are getting rid of and even specify if you want it to go to a non-profit organization. Interested parties will e-mail you and you can decide who gets it. Then you make arrangements for pick-up and everybody is happy! All this grassroots organization requires is that the items are free, legal, and appropriate for all ages.
