Coves at Ocean Club

Coves at Ocean Club is a new-construction 55+ active adult community in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, built by D.R. Horton and located just minutes from the Jersey Shore. Construction began in 2024, and the community is planned for 258 single-family ranch homes on one of the largest new-build sites in Atlantic County. This is the only new-construction age-restricted community in Atlantic County, giving it a unique position for buyers who want a brand-new home near Atlantic City and Ocean City without venturing further from the shore. Homes at Coves range from roughly 1,497 to 2,500 square feet with two to four bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, and attached two-car garages. Popular floor plans include the Freeport (1,497 sq ft, 3 bed/2 bath ranch), the Bristol, and the Clifton (1,875 sq ft with an optional second-story loft and additional bedroom). Every home is delivered with granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry, LED lighting, and upgraded flooring as standard features. D.R. Horton's America's Smart Home Package is also included, providing keyless entry, a SkyBell video doorbell, hands-free communication, and other connected-home features. The community is centered on a 3,500-square-foot clubhouse with multi-purpose and meeting rooms that host gatherings, events, and activities. Outdoor amenities include a pool with a generous seating patio, pickleball courts, a gazebo for quiet moments, and landscaped walking and biking trails. Active-adult social programming is still developing as the community fills in, but residents already participate in pickleball, swimming, and walking/jogging groups. The HOA maintains the amenity center and handles community lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal, supporting the low-maintenance lifestyle that draws buyers to active-adult communities in the first place. Location is one of Coves' strongest selling points. The community sits 2.9 miles from the Garden State Parkway and 1.4 miles from the Atlantic City Expressway, making commutes to Philadelphia, northern New Jersey, and shore destinations straightforward. Atlantic City International Airport is about 4 miles away, Atlantic City's casinos and entertainment are roughly 9.8 miles east, and Ocean City's family-friendly beach and boardwalk are about 17 miles south. The 220-acre Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve, with its fishing lake and wooded trails, is roughly 10 miles away, and the community sits within the broader 1.1-million-acre New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve. Daily conveniences are close at hand, with Lidl, ShopRite, and ALDI grocery stores, Walgreens and CVS pharmacies, and Planet Fitness and Retro Fitness gyms all nearby. Healthcare access includes Shore Medical Center and AtlantiCare Health Park. Coves at Ocean Club shares its master-plan site with two sister D.R. Horton communities — Winds at Ocean Club (all-ages single-family) and Tides at Ocean Club (townhomes) — though each has its own separate amenity package.
