“Quick Delivery” Homes at Gateway at Royce Brook Provide Activity-Rich Lifestyle Lust Months after Purchase

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ – New Jersey’s housing market is on the uptick and active adults looking to transition from the hassle and responsibility of their large, existing homes to the ease and convenience of a new lifestyle-oriented community are taking full advantage by listing primary residences in the busy sales market.

As a result, neighborhoods geared towards those aged 55 and better with a more maintenance-free environment and wealth of recreational and social amenities are seeing an increase in buyer activity fueled by a large number of purchasers having already sold their primary residence and fully prepared to move into a brand new home as soon as possible.

Gateway at Royce Brook, a new collection of upscale active adult single-family homes in Somerset County’s Hillsborough Township, has quickly proven to be a popular choice for these homebuyers with an inventory of “Quick Delivery” residences that offer move-in dates shortly after closing.

“We’re finding many of our recent visitors have listed and sold their home and are ready for a new activity-rich lifestyle,” says Sally Christie, Sales Manager for Premier Development, which is developing Gateway at Royce Brook.  “They’re very interested in our ‘Quick Delivery’ residences, particularly homes with early occupancy dates just three-to four-months from closing.  As a result, our selection of these residences are dwindling, meaning those interested in these opportunities should act now to avoid missing out.” Continue reading →

MODEL HOME AT GREENBRIAR VILLAGIO

Hamilton, NJ – Whether it is the sophisticated townhomes of Greenbriar Falls in suburban Monmouth County, or the spacious single-family homes of Greenbriar at Villagio in South Brunswick, Lennar’s Greenbriar communities continue to attract active adults who enjoy an engaging atmosphere and fulfilling lifestyles.

The national home builder’s signature brand has been setting the standard for active adult living in New Jersey for more than 40 years. Buyers at Greenbriar Falls enjoy the community’s large homes and their custom-designed feel, not far from some of the state’s most popular beaches. At Greenbriar at Villagio, buyers appreciate the relaxing, beautifully-landscaped property and a location just minutes from downtown Princeton.  Each community in the Greenbriar portfolio offers a unique setting and lifestyle experience, but they’re all tied together by the resort-style, casual elegance that is the hallmark of the Greenbriar brand.

As the newest additions to the Greenbriar brand in New Jersey, the new sections of homes at Greenbriar Falls and Greenbriar at Villagio are at the forefront of Lennar’s effort to expand what’s possible in an active adult community.

“We enjoy our position as a leader of resort-inspired active adult living in New Jersey and we’re devoted to not only maintaining it, but building upon it,” notes Don Bompensa, President of Lennar’s New Jersey Division. “That starts with a strong dedication to customer service that manifests itself in everything we do. Creating superior home designs and offering a refreshing lifestyle that resonates with today’s active adults are just some of the ways we are working to make our residents’ active adult years better than ever.”

The lifestyle package and value Greenbriar buyers enjoy is also enhanced by Lennar’s nationally-acclaimed “Everything’s Included” program which provides today’s most popular features and upgrades already included in the purchase price. Lennar leverages its high-volume purchasing power as a national home builder and passes the savings along to its customers. Features such as granite countertops, cabinetry, hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances and electric and plumbing fixtures are all included in the package. Continue reading →

Leave a comment

Sunnymeade Ribbon CuttingA prominent real estate developer that has helped fulfill the need for low and moderate-income housing throughout central New Jersey has brought to market new affordable rental homes in Somerset County, N.J.

Premier Development, which has previously introduced affordable housing for Military veterans at Stonebridge at Raritan, seniors at Summerfields in Franklin Township and other communities, has launched leasing for the first phase of affordable rentals at Sunnymeade Run, a new collection of 383 apartments located at 110 Falcon Road in the Town of Hillsborough.

Demand has been strong for the one-, two- and three-bedroom homes which provide high-quality apartment living to low-and moderate-income residents of Somerset County.   Leasing for the rentals is being handled by the Central Jersey Housing Resource Center (CJHRC), a 501 (c) non-profit organization which provides housing counseling, information and referral services.

Designed to blend harmoniously with the 131 market-rate rental townhomes at Sunnymeade Run, the affordable apartments feature many similar high-end interior finishes, such as hardwood flooring and designer ceramic tile in bathrooms and kitchens.  Additional attractive features include maple cabinets, granite countertops, full size washer and dryer, GE appliances and central heating and air conditioning.

All homes are Energy-star certified with energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment, appliances and features to provide greater savings, a considerable advantage for budget restricted households.

“Affordable housing is a vital component of building a greater community in central New Jersey,” says Andy Nowack, Community Builder for Premier Development.  “Sunnymeade Run was conceptualized to include an affordable component that is durable, modern, energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing.  This neighborhood is creating a new standard by providing the working class residents of Somerset County an opportunity to live in a brand new community with stylish homes and a full roster of recreational amenities.

“We’re proud to work with the various local, county and state agencies involved in the planning and introduction of these homes and help fulfill the housing needs for this area’s low and moderate-income individuals and families.”

Priced in accordance with New Jersey affordable housing guidelines, homes in the initial offering at Sunnymeade Run are available with immediate occupancy.  In all, the community will feature a total of 122 affordable rentals.  The balance of the apartments – which are spread throughout the neighborhood — are expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

Residents of the affordable apartments will have full access to the social and recreational facilities at Sunnymeade Run, including a 5,000 square-foot state-of-the-art clubhouse which recently debuted.  The fully-equipped facility features a large fitness area, club room, business center, lawn recreation field and playground and sparkling outdoor pool and sundeck.

Sunnymeade Run is conveniently located near central New Jersey’s work centers and a short trip away from Princeton and Somerville.  The community is surrounded by a network of major highways including Routes 206 and 287 providing easy access to the major business centers of northern New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York City just 50 miles away.

Named one of Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live, Hillsborough also provides a wealth of cultural, entertainment and recreational activities within its borders.  The Township is home to Duke Farms, the Royce Brook Golf Club and Neshanic Valley Golf Course and countless parks and recreation centers.  Shopping is also available within the township at Nelson’s Corner and the Hillsborough Promenade or at the nearby Bridgewater Mall, as well as boutique shopping in Princeton.
