Holiday Heights

Holiday Heights is an established 55+ active adult community located in the pinelands of Central New Jersey, straddling Toms River and Berkeley Townships in Ocean County. Founded in 1986 and built out through 1995, the community consists of 1,605 single-family homes, all with garages, low-maintenance exteriors, single-floor layouts, and underground utilities. Homes range from roughly 1,124 to 1,928 square feet, offering spacious floor plans with private backyards, and many have been updated with upgraded kitchens and flooring. The heart of the community is a large clubhouse featuring card and billiards rooms, an auditorium with stage, a library, and an exercise room. Outside, residents enjoy a community swimming pool with patio seating, tennis courts, bocce ball courts, shuffleboard courts, a picnic area, and walking and biking paths winding through the pine-shaded grounds. A full-time activities director coordinates events and social clubs, and a dedicated community bus transports residents for errands and trips into town — a real convenience for those who prefer not to drive. Life in Holiday Heights is low-maintenance and socially warm. The HOA handles landscaping, common area upkeep, snow removal, and trash collection, leaving residents free to focus on hobbies, friendships, and travel. The community is gated and known among neighbors for being clean, quiet, dog-friendly, and walkable. The location is one of the community's biggest draws. Holiday Heights sits just minutes from Toms River's Main Street business district with its restaurants, bakeries, and shops, and within short drives of the Jersey Shore's beaches — including Seaside Heights, Island Beach State Park, and the Casino Pier boardwalk. Double Trouble State Park and Winding River Park offer hiking, fishing, and nature trails nearby. Multiple golf courses, including Bey Lea and Four Seasons, are within easy reach. Healthcare is well covered by Community Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, and Monmouth Medical Center. The community is roughly centrally located between New York City, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City, with Newark Liberty International Airport about 70 minutes away and Trenton about an hour's drive. Everyday shopping at ShopRite, Stop & Shop, Acme, Walgreens, and Rite Aid is all within a few minutes.
