Perry’s Lake 55 Plus Community in Stafford Township, NJ

Perry’s Lake 55 Plus Community in Stafford Township

Perry’s Lake is an established 55+ active adult community located in the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township, New Jersey. The community offers a peaceful residential setting near shopping, restaurants, medical services, the Garden State Parkway and the beaches of Long Beach Island.

Perry’s Lake consists of approximately 450 manufactured single-family homes. Most homes offer two bedrooms, two bathrooms and approximately 1,320 to 1,680 square feet of living space. Depending on the model, features may include open living and dining areas, spacious kitchens, primary bedroom suites, walk-in closets, sunrooms, porches, patios and attached garages.

The community was developed by Davis Enterprises, with homes primarily constructed between 1999 and 2010. Perry’s Lake is a resale community, so home condition, improvements and individual property features can vary.

Understanding Perry’s Lake Ownership

Perry’s Lake operates as a land-lease community. Buyers purchase and own their manufactured home but lease the land beneath it through a monthly lot fee.

The monthly fee and services included can vary by property and may change over time. Before purchasing, buyers should carefully confirm the current lot rent, taxes, community charges, rules, maintenance responsibilities and any approval requirements.

This ownership arrangement differs from purchasing a traditional home with privately owned land. John and Marilyn Mecchia can help buyers understand these important differences before making a decision.

Community information was verified using the official Perry’s Lake website and its current community information.
