Four Seasons at Metedeconk Lakes, over in Jackson Township, is a 55+ gated community built by K Hovnanian around 2002 to 2008, with around 800 homes that come in single-story or two-story styles, and these homes often have things like 9-foot ceilings, open floor plans, sunrooms, central vac systems, granite countertops, and hardwood floors, and the houses start at about 1,600 square feet and can be over 3,500 square feet if you want more space. It's a resales-only place so all the homes were built a while back and information about what's for sale can be found on their resident's website, along with helpful things like HOA documents, pool schedules, evacuation plans, electronic voting, snow clearing steps, and even local directions and utility contacts.
The whole place is set up for easy living, because you don't have to worry about mowing, shoveling snow, or watering the lawn, and the property management handles things except irrigation, which is something residents like since it lets them enjoy the slower pace. The Four Seasons Metedeconk Club House is a big, modern 28,000 square foot clubhouse with card rooms, a library, conference rooms, pool tables, a fitness center, computer facilities, and Wi-Fi, so you can stay busy or just relax, and there's also a recreation center and a community center where a lot of the social life happens. The indoor pool is heated with a jacuzzi and sauna nearby, and outside you'll see another pool with a Jacuzzi and places for bocce, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, and a garden for those who want to get their hands in the dirt.
There's over 50 clubs to join, whether your interest is cards, games, or something else, and the staff organizes big gatherings in the ballroom, regular parties, and lots of club and committee programs, plus all kinds of events for residents to mix and meet. The grounds are kept very tidy and have lakes and walking trails, giving the place more of a resort feel, and people say the landscaping is nice and peaceful. The care side is set up with options like independent living, assisted living, and memory care with secured memory care units and outdoor patios for safe fresh air time. The staff also has dedicated care programs, health and wellness checks, medication management, and emergency response systems in place, and for those who need help getting around there are transportation services. Restaurant-style dining is available too, which makes meals feel comfortable and social.
The Four Seasons at Metedeconk Lakes also has the little things people don't always think of like equipment lending services called Neighbor to Neighbor, massage therapy, and communal services to help folks stay comfortable. The property sits in Central New Jersey, and being part of the Four Seasons communities means it's got a sense of connection to a wider group of 55+ living options. The homes and amenities are set up to keep things active and social, with a friendly atmosphere so neighbors know each other, whether they're sharing gear, heading to the gym, or enjoying activities by the lake.
