SISTERS FEEL RIGHT AT HOME AT COVINGTON VILLAGE

Even after age 55, Jean Tanke and Marge Morrison continue to discover commonalities between them, not the least of which was their life-changing decision to reside at Covington Village, Ocean County’s most popular active adult condominium community. Jean moved to her elegant two-bedroom home in February, while Marge’s closing date will take place within a matter of weeks.

Jean, who hails from Clark in Union County, explained how and why she chose Covington Village among the numerous high quality adult communities in the Jersey Shore area. “With so much maintenance involved, I knew I couldn’t stay in my home of 55 years for very long, so I began perusing the newspapers for an adult community located in the Shore area, where two of my sons reside. I saw an ad for Covington Village, paid a visit and was instantly impressed not only by the easy living environment and the secluded location, but also with the community’s close proximity to the Garden State Parkway, which will make it much easier for my sons and grandchildren to visit.” The two sons live in adjoining Monmouth County, just to the north of the community.

It didn’t take long for Jean’s sister—originally from northern New Jersey and currently residing in nearby Toms River—to take an equally powerful liking to the same low-maintenance benefits and exceptional lifestyle that so many active adults already enjoy at Covington Village. As she recalled, “My sister was in basically the same situation as I was, looking for a great active adult community that was low-maintenance, private yet close to everything. The more she visited my place, the more she grew to appreciate the benefits of living here, and the rest is history.”

Jean also realized the exceptional value she achieved with her home purchase. “In my home search I found no other new active adult community in Ocean County priced below $200,000,” she said. “Many were much more expensive and also too far out of the way for my family to visit very often. I know I made the right decision by moving here and my sister will be even more sold on Covington Village once she moves in. I would definitely recommend this community to anyone over 55 seeking an affordable lifestyle and a well-designed, well-built home.”

A secure, gated community, Covington Village offers a one bedroom, a one-bedroom with den and a two bedroom model. The community is surrounded by preserved woodlands, ensuring ongoing privacy and a tranquil way of life for homeowners. An 11,400 sq. ft. clubhouse with a newly opened restaurant reserved exclusively for Covington Village residents and their guests, features activities ranging from invigorating exercise to relaxing billiards and everything in between. The clubhouse grounds have a large, heated pool, patio and sundeck.

The Covington Village Sales Center is open Daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information and directions, call 732-730-0021.
