BARBECUE DRAWS BUYERS TO COVINGTON VILLAGE

As it turned out, even the irresistible aromas of sizzling burgers and franks were no match for the allure of the homes and lifestyle discovered by hundreds of active adult homebuyers who experienced the Covington Village cookout held last Saturday at this award-winning Ocean County community. Builder Matzel Development provided homebuyer with a literal “taste” of the neighborhood’s elegant yet care-free way of life that so many active adults have already chosen to call home.

According to Marge Karahuta, Director of Sales & Marketing for Matzel Development, the cookout drew a large number of homebuyers who were familiar with the attributes of the condominium community through friends or relatives who had already purchased here. “Referrals have always been an important contributor to the sales of this community,” she said. “It underscores the fact that once prospective homebuyers get a first-hand look at all that Covington Village has to offer, they are easily able to envision themselves enjoying this care-free lifestyle. Some visitors who had already sold their previous homes, took advantage of our quick-delivery homes with built-in upgrades that we currently have available,” she said.

After dining on the festive, late-summer fare, attendees were welcomed by Matzel Development representatives to explore the three distinctive home designs, as well as take a tour of the community clubhouse and newly completed outdoor heating swimming pool, spa, sundeck and patio that are part of the clubhouse grounds. The three home styles include a one-bedroom, a one-bedroom with den and a two-bedroom model, each carefully crafted to exude the elegance that is a hallmark of Covington Village. The community is further enhanced by a captivating gated entrance consisting of a 24-hour secured gated entrance accented by opulent fountains, tranquil ponds and meticulous landscaping features.

Recent homebuyers have included year-round residents, as well as owners of multiple homes who spend winters in more temperate climates. Other Covington Village homeowners were simply enamored with the location, which is secluded by a preserved woodlands setting, yet is easily accessible to all parts of New Jersey from where friends and family often visit. “There’s something for every active adult homebuyer to appreciate at this community,” Karahuta stated. “Our strong sales pace affirms the enormous popularity of a neighborhood unlike any other in Ocean County.”

Covington Village has earned several prestigious building industry awards, including the 2005 Grand Award for Community of the Year from the New Jersey Builders Association.
