Established in 2021 by Toll Brothers, Regency at Manalapan is a premier, gated 55+ active-adult community that has quickly become a benchmark for luxury living in Monmouth County. The enclave consists of 140 meticulously crafted single-family homes, thoughtfully divided into two distinct collections: The Retreat and The Preserve. Buyers can choose from seven unique floor plans, ranging from approximately 1,800 to over 3,200 square feet. These designs prioritize sophistication and accessibility, featuring open-concept layouts, gourmet kitchens, and essential first-floor primary bedroom suites with spa-like bathrooms and expansive walk-in closets.
The community lifestyle is centered around an award-winning 5,000-square-foot clubhouse that officially opened in July 2023. This state-of-the-art amenity hub serves as the social heart of the neighborhood, offering residents access to a high-end fitness center, a stylish lounge, and a cozy outdoor fire pit. For recreation, the grounds include a resort-style swimming pool and spa, along with dedicated courts for tennis, bocce, and the increasingly popular pickleball. Even four-legged residents are catered to with a private on-site dog park.
Complementing its physical amenities is a lifestyle of ease and convenience. The homeowners’ association provides comprehensive low-maintenance living, handling all lawn care and snow removal so residents can focus on the community’s vibrant social calendar. Ideally situated just seven miles from downtown Freehold and a short drive from the Jersey Shore, Regency at Manalapan offers the perfect blend of secluded tranquility and easy access to top-tier dining, shopping, and major commuter routes like the Garden State Parkway.
