New Jersey is such a lovely state, that many people are choosing to remain here, rather than move to warmer climes. As a result, developers have created many housing complexes targeted specifically to those 55 years of age, or older. The 55+ developments (sometimes called “active adult” communities) typically offer a mix of detached houses and multi-unit condos or townhouses. They also include a variety of community services, such as a club house with exercise room and party room, tennis courts, swimming pool, and golf course. For worry-free exterior maintenance and snow removal, as well as all of these community services, you will pay a monthly fee.

Some of the 55+ developments in the area are listed below, with links to their websites, when available. If no link is provided, do contact me for additional information and to learn about available homes. If you are interested in exploring available properties in any of these developments, just contact me, and I’ll respond immediately.

If you, or a family member, have reached the stage of life when more focused care is important, then you may want to consider an assisted living environment (also called a “nursing home”). Nutritious meals, round-the-clock care, and activities appropriate to residents’ abilities are provided by these homes.

Area assisted living homes include those listed below. Again, please call the home, directly, if you wish to explore vacancies. Contact me, too, to discuss selling your current home.
