Chelsea Square

Chelsea Square is a premier 55+ active adult condominium community located in the Morganville section of Marlboro Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Developed by Regal Homes beginning in 2007-2008, the community consists of 225 condominium residences spread across 14 mid-rise buildings. Each three-story building features an elevator and drive-under parking garages on the ground level, giving residents single-level living above with easy covered parking below — a thoughtful design for aging in place in a Northeast climate. The condos themselves range from 1,482 to 1,918 square feet across seven floor plans, offering one to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and oversized laundry rooms. Layouts include open great rooms, formal dining rooms, world-class kitchens, master suites with walk-in closets, private balconies, and optional gas fireplaces. Most homes include two-car garages with large temperature-controlled storage rooms, a rare amenity for condo living. New construction units have been available in recent years with remaining inventory still moving, while resales turn over steadily — 2023 saw five homes sell at an average price of $470,900. The heart of social life is an 8,900-square-foot clubhouse that serves as the community hub. Inside, residents find a fitness center with separate aerobics and weight rooms, a massage room, men's and women's locker rooms, card rooms, billiards, a game room, a business center with computers, a catering kitchen, a multi-purpose room, and an on-site restaurant. Outside, a heated swimming pool and patio offer a warm-weather gathering spot, and walking and biking trails wind through the grounds. A full-time activities director keeps a constantly-changing calendar of clubs, classes, and social events — aerobics, billiards leagues, book clubs, card games, hobby groups, and the popular wine & cheese socials among them. The community is gated with security-controlled building access and is pet-friendly. FirstService Residential manages the property. Location is one of Chelsea Square's strongest selling points. The community sits off Route 79 in northern Marlboro, within two miles of the Matawan Train Station — a straight NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line ride into Manhattan that makes this one of the few 55+ communities in the state truly viable for NYC commuters or grandparents wanting easy city access. The Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike are minutes away, putting the Jersey Shore roughly 20 minutes east and Atlantic City within an easy drive. Woodbridge Mall and Freehold Raceway Mall are both nearby for shopping, and Marlboro Township itself offers 12 parks, a town center, and free outdoor summer concerts. Healthcare is well-covered with Hackensack Meridian Bayshore Hospital in Holmdel, Raritan Bay Medical Center about four miles away, and CentraState in Freehold a short drive out. Off-site recreation includes more than 20 public and private golf courses within Monmouth County and the nearby Henry Hudson Trail for cycling and walking. Newark Liberty International is about 45 minutes away for longer travel.
