Greenbriar at Fox Ridge

Greenbriar at Fox Ridge is a gated 55+ condominium community tucked into the rolling countryside of Morris County, New Jersey, just off Interstate 80 in Rockaway Township. Built by Lennar between 2010 and 2018, the community is now essentially built out with 336 condominiums spread across eight residential buildings — each with a secured common entrance lobby, elevator access, and underground parking garage. That combination of elevator living and covered parking is unusual for a New Jersey 55+ community and makes Fox Ridge especially appealing to buyers who want a lock-and-leave lifestyle without stairs or snow-covered cars. Homes are single-level 1- and 2-bedroom condos ranging from about 979 to nearly 2,000 square feet, offered across seven named floor plans: Kittatiny (979 sq ft), Spruce Run (1,445), Allaire (1,502), Watchung (1,568), Ramapo (1,680), Rancocas (1,835), and the top-of-line Ramapo Grande (1,997). Lennar's Everything's Included® program meant homes were delivered with upscale finishes as standard, and resale pricing over the past year has generally run from the mid-$400Ks to the mid-$500Ks, with a median around $456K. The monthly HOA fee sits at roughly $695 and is notably comprehensive — it covers exterior building and grounds maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, trash collection, pest control, common area taxes and insurance, and interior maintenance of common areas — so owners really do get a low-maintenance experience. Social life revolves around the 16,000-square-foot clubhouse, which has a rustic ski-lodge feel and serves as the heart of the community. Inside there's a fitness center, aerobics and dance studio, indoor pool with sauna, grand banquet/ballroom, library, arts and crafts studio, billiards room, and multiple card rooms. Outside, residents have an outdoor pool with patio, tennis courts, pickleball, bocce courts, a picnic pavilion with grills, and a community garden with individual plots. A full-time lifestyle director keeps a steady calendar of activities and clubs going year-round, including Bingo, Book Club, Mah Jongg, Jazzercise, Circuit Workout, Knitting Group, Cookie Exchange, Movie Night, and seasonal holiday parties. Location is a big part of the pitch. The community sits roughly 35 miles west of Manhattan, with easy I-80 access for anyone still working or regularly visiting family in the city. NJ Transit stations in neighboring Dover and Denville offer direct rail service to Penn Station, and Newark Liberty International Airport is about a 35–45 minute drive. Rockaway Townsquare — a super-regional mall with Macy's, JCPenney, 140+ stores, The Cheesecake Factory, and P.F. Chang's — is about three miles away, and everyday shopping (ShopRite, ACME, ALDI, Target, Walgreens, CVS) is clustered within 10–15 minutes. Golfers have Rockaway River Country Club and Green Pond Golf Course nearby, and Morris County's lake country — including Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey's largest lake — is minutes away for boating, fishing, and scenic drives. Morristown Medical Center and Saint Clare's Denville Hospital provide nearby healthcare options.
