STATEN ISLAND BUYERS FLOCK TO COVINGTON VILLAGE

Just as spring flowers are growing in abundance, homebuyers emanating from Staten Island are making their presence known at Matzel Development’s Covington Village active adult community in Ocean County, New Jersey. Particularly since the onset of the new season, more Island residents have been attracted by the ideal location, elegant condominium home designs and exceptional value found only at this two-time Community of the Year Award winning neighborhood.

“Staten Island homebuyers are some of our most consistent visitors,” said Marge Karahuta, the Director of Sales and Marketing for Matzel Development. “They appreciate the carefree lifestyle, the preserved woodlands surroundings, the clubhouse and certainly the attractive pricing that Covington Village offers. Many former New Yorkers who have already purchased here are telling their friends about the amazing new home and lifestyle they have discovered.”

Priced from $184,900 and with virtually no maintenance with which to be concerned, it is not surprising that the community is appealing to a variety of Staten Island homebuyers, as Karahuta explained. “Our single-level designs are the perfect solution for people who own second homes in Florida or the Carolinas,” she said. “People who live here year-round appreciate the close proximity to shopping, dining and healthcare facilities, as well as great golf courses, Jersey Shore beaches and Atlantic City casinos. Our affordable pricing makes everything that much more attractive.”

As the warmer weather approaches, the Covington Village clubhouse plays a major role in bringing community residents together. Outside, the heating swimming pool, sundeck and patio are the main attractions, while the exclusive Covington Café Restaurant, multiple game rooms, fitness center and gathering lobby represent the indoor amenities. The clubhouse also has a Lifestyle Coordinator to assist homeowners in their activities planning and enjoyment. A convenient shuttle service is available for shopping errands and recreational excursions.

Three distinctive home designs are available. Each community building features elevator service. The community is securely gated, and highlighted by an opulent entrance with sparkling fountains and ponds.
