Gateway at Royce Brook sits in Hillsborough, New Jersey, and is made for people over 55 who want a peaceful community with some nice comforts and a bit of that "tucked away" feeling since the homes back up to woods and sit on cul-de-sacs, and you'll see they've planned private, wooded homesites that help keep it quiet too. The homes are single-family, all built in 2023, and some models have features like two-story entry foyers or big family rooms with high ceilings, and there's even walk-in attic spaces and second-floor lofts for extra storage or private spots for visiting family. The houses range from about 2,374 to 2,975 square feet, with three or three-and-a-half bathrooms, and you can see four model homes if you want to check out the layouts since they'll show you options like the Wellington Plan and Saratoga Plan-some of these even have full basements but those are only on a few lots.
Inside, you'll find things like gourmet kitchens with 42-inch cabinets, quartz or granite countertops, and GE stainless steel appliances, along with luxury vinyl plank flooring in the main living areas. The master suites have big baths with features like oversized tubs and cultured marble countertops, there's walk-in closets, private bathrooms, and a good bit of room for entertaining with both formal and informal dining areas. Every home is Energy Star certified, so utility bills should be lower, and the houses include emergency alert systems, high-speed internet, cable, air conditioning, and even kitchenettes if that's important. Most homes have attached two-car garages, paved driveways, and maintenance-free siding with 25-year roof shingles, and there's even weatherproof outlets and a hose bib in the front and back for easy cleaning or gardening.
People can choose Quick Delivery homes that are ready in 30 to 60 days or in about three to four months, and there are some homes you can move into faster if timing is an issue. Gateway at Royce Brook is a gated community, and the monthly $285 HOA fee covers the basics-like lawn care, snow removal, and trash collection-so you don't have to keep up with too much yard work or heavy chores yourself, which is nice as you get older.
A full-size clubhouse is going up with lots of planned amenities, and there's already an outdoor heated pool and tennis and pickleball courts, with future spaces like a ballroom, billiards, shuffleboard, bocce, fitness center, yoga studio, saunas, library, and places for movies and activities, so folks can spend time however they like, whether that's group activities or quiet reading. There's also guest suites for when people come to visit and a pet-friendly setup, so you won't have to leave a furry friend behind. Other services, like dining with allergy-sensitive options and meals made by professional chefs, housekeeping, laundry help, and move-in coordination, are there for convenience, and the neighborhood keeps up regular programs and activities, with things like arts and games, music, and wellness sessions.
Homes run from about $776,900 to $799,900, with full floor plans and price lists available if you ask, and the sales center sits on 110 Falcon Road in Hillsborough, with tours during the week and weekends, except on Thursdays and Fridays. Gateway at Royce Brook is set up for active adults looking for a quiet, community-focused life, without a lot of pressure to join in things if you don't want, and there's enough space to do your own thing or be social when the mood strikes.
