SAYREVILLE, N.J. –- With interest rates hovering around 30-year lows and a home that had appreciated greatly since he moved in nine years ago, David Hango felt the time was right to purchase a new home.

The Sayreville resident wanted to remain in a centrally located area that would allow a reasonable commute to work in Morristown where he's employed as an attorney for PNC Bank, as well as enable him to continue to enjoy convenient access to the dynamic recreational pursuits of Manhattan.

Seeking new construction and the maintenance-free lifestyle associated with townhome living, David set out on his search -– one that would ironically lead him right back to Sayreville at The Landings at Spinnaker Pointe, the new waterside townhome community being developed by Matzel and Mumford in this Middlesex County borough.

"I considered moving closer to Morristown but felt the prices were too inflated," David explains. "Then I heard about The Landings. I was obviously familiar with the location and was impressed with what they were doing with the property."

With his interest peaking, David took a ride to view the award-winning designs at Montgomery Hills in Montgomery Township, another townhome community being developed by Matzel and Mumford.

"The homes were unquestionably better than anything I had seen before," he says. "In terms of design, layouts and quality, Matzel and Mumford's townhomes stood far above the rest."

Believing that he was also getting a lot more for his money at The Landings than anywhere else, David decided to purchase an elegant Carmichael design, working with Matzel and Mumford associates to personalize his new home.

"The developer's Design Center is extremely impressive and I appreciate all the time they spent with me in making my selections" David points out. "The people at Matzel and Mumford are wonderful and have been terrific to work with."

The Landings at Spinnaker Pointe offers just 30 townhomes on a convenient, waterside location. Initially priced from the high-$200,000s, the two- and three-bedroom townhomes offer a variety of award-winning floorplans with from 1,685 to 1,870 square feet of living space. One design offers a master-bedroom suite featuring two separate walk-in closets, with an adjacent loft that can be used as either a home study or second floor den. The community's location in Sayreville promotes a host of recreational pursuits, notes Richard Selikoff, Matzel and Mumford's Vice President of Marketing and Sales.

"Sayreville marks the beginning of the Jersey Shore," he says. "Seasonal water activities such as fishing, boating and swimming, as well as several private marinas and other shore amenities, can all be enjoyed within minutes."

Additional recreational, entertainment and business venues are easily accessible via the Garden State Parkway –- located just minutes from The Landings –- and Routes 9 and 35, providing a quick commute to I-287, Routes 1 ,18 and 440, and the New Jersey Turnpike. Commuters also have a variety of mass transit to choose from including nearby park and ride, the option of accessing the nearby train station, located in South Amboy, for a comfortable commute into Penn Station or via water ferry service available to lower Manhattan.

The Matzel & Mumford Organization is a K. Hovnanian Company.
