West Bay Village 55 Plus Community in Stafford Township, NJ

West Bay Village 55 Plus Community in Stafford Township

West Bay Village is a small, established 55+ manufactured-home community located in the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township, New Jersey.

Located at 720 North Main Street, the community provides convenient access to Route 9, Route 72, shopping, restaurants, healthcare services, the Garden State Parkway and Long Beach Island.

West Bay Village contains approximately 69 home sites, offering residents a smaller and quieter neighborhood atmosphere. The community includes manufactured homes in a variety of sizes, ages, designs and conditions.

Depending on the individual property, home features may include:

  • One-level living
  • One or more bedrooms
  • Eat-in kitchens
  • Living and dining areas
  • Porches, decks or patios
  • Off-street parking
  • Storage sheds
  • Updated kitchens, bathrooms or mechanical systems

Because West Bay Village is an established community, individual homes can vary considerably. Buyers should carefully review the home’s age, condition, improvements, financing options and community requirements.

Understanding West Bay Village Ownership

West Bay Village operates as a land-lease community. Buyers purchase and own the manufactured home but lease the home site through a monthly lot fee.

The current lot rent, included services, community rules, pet policies, maintenance responsibilities and buyer-approval requirements should be confirmed before purchasing. These terms and costs can change over time.

John and Marilyn Mecchia can help buyers understand how a land-lease purchase differs from buying a traditional home with privately owned land.

Lifestyle and Community Setting

West Bay Village offers a simpler 55+ lifestyle in a small, established neighborhood. With approximately 69 home sites, the community may appeal to buyers who prefer a quieter setting rather than a large resort-style development.

Community features may include:

  • Paved neighborhood streets
  • Off-street parking
  • A small residential setting
  • Manufactured homes designed for one-level living
  • Pet-friendly living, subject to community approval
  • Convenient access to local shopping and services

West Bay Village does not offer the extensive clubhouse and recreational amenities found in some larger Ocean County 55+ communities. Buyers who value affordability, convenience and a smaller neighborhood atmosphere may find it worth considering.

Community rules, services and available features can change. Buyers should confirm current information with community management before purchasing.

Convenient Stafford Township Location

Long Beach Island is only a short drive away, offering beaches, boating, fishing, restaurants and seasonal entertainment.

The combination of a small-community atmosphere and access to Manahawkin’s conveniences makes West Bay Village an option for buyers seeking manufactured-home living near the Jersey Shore.
