Many people
not from New Jersey have a slightly distorted view of our
Garden State. It is not all inner city and industrial areas
as frequently shown on the hit show “Sopranos”. In fact,
most of it is quite beautiful from the rolling hills and
farmlands in the Northwest to the gorgeous white beaches in
the Southeast. Everywhere in between you will find our
suburbia paradise with hundreds of great townships large and
small that are convenient to just about everything.
New Jersey is also home to a
large population of active seniors. In fact, NJ has had
large established active adult communities as far back as 40
years ago. Builders have seen the value in developing 55+
communities and NJ has no shortage of them. There are close
to one hundred adult communities in just 2 of the 21 New
Jersey Counties (Monmouth & Ocean) alone.
55+ communities in NJ come in
all shapes, sizes & price ranges. Budget conscious buyers
will find many reasonable condo communities that feature
most of the same amenities as the more expensive single
family home adult communities. If money is no object, then
there are also a few ultra-luxury communities that can set
you back a million plus. The majority of the active adult
communities in NJ are reasonably priced when compared to
other housing in the area.
The most popular adult
communities in NJ feature larger single family homes with
many options and amenities that are a far stretch from basic
living. Home options may include granite countertops, 2nd
floor lofts, Jacuzzi tubs and more. Many of the communities
feature large clubhouses with indoor/outdoor pools, fitness
centers and game & media rooms. Several active adult
communities even have their own private 18-hole golf courses
or membership access to nearby ones.
The benefits of living in an
active adult community are many including safer
neighborhoods, social networking for seniors and low
maintenance homes. NJ active adults get the added bonus of
being close to the beaches, parks & Atlantic City. Living in
the Tri-State area also allows NJ residents easy access to
international airports and the ability to visit NYC or
Philadelphia to check out the museums or a Broadway show all
in the same day.

Even with all that New Jersey
has to offer, the #1 reason why most active seniors live in
NJ is to stay close to their children and grandchildren.
After all, this is what the Golden Years are all about. New
Jersey’s active adult communities just make them a little
more dazzling!
