River Pointe

River Pointe is a gated Del Webb active adult community tucked into a picturesque, wooded section of Manchester Township in Ocean County, New Jersey. Built between 2007 and 2019 on the site just north of Route 70 near the Lakehurst border, the community contains roughly 504 single-family homes and is now fully built out, with only resales available. Homes were offered in about ten Del Webb models ranging from approximately 1,269 to 2,799 square feet, with two or three bedrooms, attached two-car garages, and options including front porches, sunrooms, morning rooms, lofts, and basements. The Reston, Newhall, and Copper Ridge floor plans can be expanded with an optional loft that adds roughly 800 square feet, an extra bedroom, and an additional bath. All homes were built to ENERGY STAR standards through a partnership between Pulte/Del Webb and ReVireo under the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. Life at River Pointe revolves around The Retreat, a 16,000-square-foot clubhouse that anchors the community's social calendar. Inside, residents find a heated indoor pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an aerobics studio, a billiards and card room, an arts and crafts studio, a computer lab, a library, and meeting rooms, plus The Retreat Cafe for a snack or coffee throughout the day. Outdoors, the amenity package continues with a second swimming pool, two tennis courts, two bocce courts, a horseshoe pit, a putting green, and walking and biking trails that loop through a series of scenic ponds. A full-time onsite Lifestyle Director keeps the programming active, with chartered clubs covering wine, bowling, photography, books, sewing, card games, karate, movies, and singles, and fitness classes including zumba, yoga, and aquacise. The $290/month HOA covers daily maintenance of common elements, the clubhouse and gatehouse, trash removal, lawn care, and snow removal of driveways, walkways, sidewalks, and streets — a meaningful perk in a four-season climate. The community sits in a quiet, wooded part of Manchester Township just minutes from the Lakehurst border and a short drive from the Jersey Shore. Seaside Heights, Point Pleasant, and Lavallette beaches are all within about 30 minutes, and the Garden State Parkway, Route 9, Route 37, and Route 70 put the rest of the region within easy reach. Atlantic City and Philadelphia are each about an hour away, and Manhattan is roughly 90 minutes by car, with rail service available from Point Pleasant and a Park-and-Ride bus to NYC in nearby Toms River. Shopping and dining along the Route 37 and Route 70 corridors — plus larger malls in Freehold, Eatontown, and Toms River — handle day-to-day needs, while Community Medical Center in Toms River and Hackensack Meridian facilities in Jackson provide nearby healthcare. For buyers who want a well-established, amenity-rich Del Webb lifestyle without leaving New Jersey or giving up four seasons, River Pointe remains one of Ocean County's most consistently popular active adult communities.
