Here are 5 new development apartments for sale that offer a quick commute via ferry

If you are looking to buy in New York City right now, finding an apartment with a safe commute might be a top priority. You may want to consider living near a ferry stop. There are lots of new development condos near ferry stations, and ferries offer an open-air commute that may be preferable in the Covid era.

Many new development apartments have outdoor space, in-unit washer/dryers, large windows, and amenities that make working, or studying, from home easier. Because of the soft market, you are likely to find deal sweeteners from developers looking to close sales.

If living in a new development near a ferry sounds appealing, check out these five apartments for sale in Dumbo, Weehawken, Two Bridges, and Brooklyn Heights.
