Horizons at Woodlake Greens sits in Lakewood, New Jersey, as a gated senior living community for adults age 55 and over, and it offers a mix of single-family homes, condos, and townhouses, so you can pick what fits you best, and all the homes come with features like a two-car garage, hardwood floors, tile and carpet, shingled roofs, and colonial-style architecture, and some even have private backyards that go right up to the woods. The houses usually have two stories, with high ceilings, roomy foyers, a loft, and bedrooms and spare rooms upstairs, and you'll find extras like walk-in closets, attic spaces, recessed lighting, sliding doors, and a master bath with two sinks, a stall shower, and a jacuzzi tub. Kitchens are equipped with granite countertops, a backsplash made of tiles, a center island, and a pantry, and appliance packages include everything from a dishwasher and microwave to a washer and dryer, while heating and cooling are handled by a two-zone system.
The HOA fee, which is $236 a month, covers things like snow removal, lawn care, and keeping common areas and recreational facilities in good shape, and you'll have access to the swimming pool, clubhouse, exercise room, fitness center, golf courses, parks, and even a library and a spa, plus there are outdoor walking paths, greenbelt spots, and special spaces for pets if you have them. They offer independent living as well as assisted living and memory care, so residents get help as needed with bathing, dressing, medication, or just daily activities, and there's a 24-hour emergency alert system along with on-site staff who provide supervision and personal care, with in-home services available through Home Instead Senior Care and extra support like counseling, family services, and move-in help.
Social life gets attention too, with scheduled activities, movie nights, arts and crafts, a game room, and community events in addition to resident-run clubs and programs, and there's restaurant-style dining with allergy-sensitive and diabetes diet options, and meal services run all day in several dining areas. Properties come with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, cable TV, private bathrooms, and you can choose furnished or unfurnished rooms. Horizons at Woodlake Greens is managed as a residential association, and real estate agents familiar with the area offer help with buying, selling, and estimating home values, plus you'll find disability-friendly features and the community's pet-friendly, so you'll see animals around. The neighborhood started building in 2012, doesn't have basements, and includes a roof deck, water views, fireplaces, two-story foyers, and big open family rooms, with laundry rooms set off the entrance. Maintenance-free living is the focus, so folks don't have to worry about outside work and can spend more time using the amenities, taking walks, socializing, or just relaxing in the quiet of their homes.
