Cedar Glen Lakes sits tucked away at 100 Michigan Avenue in Manchester Township, NJ, right in the heart of the Pine Barrens, and people will find it's a big 55+ active adult community spread out over 222 acres, with park-like grounds, three quiet lakes for fishing, and walking paths winding past rows of single and duplex homes, with a total of 1,236 homes, all with different models like the Westmont, Madison Duplex, Adams Duplex, and Jefferson series, so folks can pick the place that fits them best, whether they're looking for a private or shared option, or even a studio. Some homes have big kitchens, central air, walk-in showers, new washers and dryers, and they're usually maintained inside and out, since things like real estate taxes, structure insurance, water, sewer, lawn care, and snow removal are already covered by the monthly charges, which also help pay for the bus service and other communal services, all handled by a dedicated Board of Directors and a committed staff team who keep things running steady, along with after-hours emergency maintenance for any big problems.
People living in Cedar Glen Lakes find support for their day-to-day care needs, with independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care services all available in different parts of the community, so a resident could have help with bathing, dressing, medication, or memory support, and still feel safe with a 24-hour call system, careful supervision, and specialized care for folks who might wander or get confused. Meals are prepared by a professional chef with options for different needs, like allergy restrictions, diabetes diets, or other medical concerns, and there's always meal service, dining rooms, and even restaurant-style dining, so people can have a good meal that fits their health. If someone needs help sticking to a special diet, the community takes care of that, and with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cable TV, telephones in the rooms, and air conditioning, people can stay comfortable and connected, whether they're reading in the library, relaxing in their room, or checking messages.
For staying busy, Cedar Glen Lakes has a game room, arts room, fitness center, movie theater, spa room, and regular scheduled activities or community events run by residents and staff, so nobody's left sitting alone unless they want some quiet. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning services can make things easier, and there's also move-in help and family support services when needed. Outdoors, people enjoy the lakes for fishing, paved roads for walking or biking, and common outdoor spaces for fresh air or a neighborly chat, even though the neighborhood itself is car-dependent with a Walk Score of 23, so most errands need a car, and there isn't much bike infrastructure to speak of, though the eleven miles of paved roads make steady walking or biking around the community possible.
Cedar Glen Lakes has both single-family and multi-family homes for sale, and common charges cover a lot, with a minimum credit score and income required for purchase, and the resale office stays open Sundays for walk-in visits. The community offers regular updates, a map, a FAQ section, and even uses the Engage platform so residents can keep up with everything happening, from the next event to any scheduled repairs, and there's always a calendar for activities, big or small. People will find all kinds of meals close by too, whether folks like Asian or Southern food, a good pizza, or a cup of coffee from a nearby café or bakery, and there's even a range of hotels, motels, and dining spots nearby if family or visitors come in from out of town. Cedar Glen Lakes doesn't promise a perfect life, but it tries to give folks a safe, helpful place to settle down, stay as independent as they can, and enjoy their days with friends and good care.
