SNOWBIRDS FIND COVINGTON VILLAGE IDEAL NESTING PLACE

As Ocean County’s most carefully planned active adult condominium community, Covington Village offers value-conscious buyers who own second homes the carefree lifestyle and expansive living space they require, in a secluded yet easily accessible environment. With three distinctive floor plans, an elegantly designed community from which a friendly neighborhood spirit emanates and virtually no home maintenance chores are required, more and more “snowbirds” are calling Covington Village home.

“Owners of second homes in warmer parts of the country have already discovered the advantages of purchasing at Covington Village,” states Marge Karahuta, Director of Sales & Marketing for Matzel Development, the community’s builder. “And with thousands of dollars worth of options and upgrades included in our new Signature Series collection of elegant homes that are available for occupancy in as little as 30 days, our original competitive pricing becomes even more attractive to adults who desire a low-maintenance lifestyle.”

“Active adults want to get the most out of their lifestyle in terms of visits from friends, family and grandchildren,” Karahuta added. “Here, they not only enjoy the continual privacy and tranquility of a preserved woodlands environment, but also a location that is comfortably close to Route 70 and the Garden State Parkway, providing homeowners with convenient accessibility to the people who are most dear to them.”

The community’s thickly wooded surroundings belie the true elegance of the spacious homes and community atmosphere. Traditionally designed interiors represent the high level of elegance most active adult buyers prefer. The impressive gated entrance, enhanced by adjacent ponds and fountains, is a presage to the home and lifestyle that await within Covington Village, which earned top honors by garnering the 2005 Grand Award for Community of the Year from the New Jersey Builders Association. “The more homebuyers shop around in Ocean County, the more they realize that there is no place else quite like Covington Village,” said Karahuta.

In addition to one-bedroom, one-bedroom with den and two-bedroom home designs, all of which are perfectly suited to snowbirds, the community features an 11,400 sq. ft. clubhouse at which festive gatherings, community events and a multitude of activities take place. The clubhouse includes a fitness center, men’s and women’s lockers and saunas, a home theater, a billiards room and a card and crafts room, a large gathering room, a wellness center, computer room and banquet room with catering kitchen. An outdoor heated pool and spa, a sundeck and expansive patio grace the clubhouse grounds.
