Stirling Glen

Stirling Glen is a 195-home, deed-restricted 55+ active adult community in Williamstown (Monroe Township), Gloucester County, New Jersey, built by J.S. Hovnanian & Sons with construction beginning in 2015. The community is tucked off Fries Mill Road directly adjacent to the well-known Scotland Run Golf Club — an 18-hole course that becomes a de facto amenity for residents who golf, dine, or brunch there. Homes are single-family ranch-style residences ranging from roughly 1,577 to 2,032 square feet (with some larger two-story models featuring finished lofts pushing closer to 2,200+ sq ft), offering 2 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3 bathrooms, and attached two-car garages. Signature floor plans include the Pinehurst, Oakmont, Turnberry, Essex, Windsor, and the popular St. Andrews model. Standard features include 9-foot first-floor ceilings, open floor plans, island kitchens, gas heating and cooking, LVP flooring, ENERGY STAR windows, and walk-in owner's closets. Many homes back up to mature woods and offer walk-up attic storage. Social life centers on the community clubhouse, which houses a fitness center, grand ballroom and banquet rooms for community events, a card room, billiards room, and a demonstration kitchen used for cooking demos and catered events. Outside, residents enjoy an in-ground outdoor pool with sun patio, bocce ball courts, and horseshoe pits. The active club roster is focused but genuine — regular groups for billiards, bocce, exercise, and horseshoes, along with social events, holiday parties, and gatherings in the ballroom. The vibe skews toward relaxed, neighborly South Jersey — residents repeatedly describe it as unusually friendly, with neighbors who wave and stop to talk. HOA fees are remarkably low for a new-build 55+ community — roughly $133–$150/month — covering lawn maintenance, snow removal, and all common-area amenities, which leaves residents with a true low-maintenance lifestyle. The community is managed by FirstService Residential. Location is a major draw: minutes to North Black Horse Pike retail (Home Depot, Sam's Club, Walmart Supercenter, Target, Wegmans-area shopping), under 30 minutes to Philadelphia, about an hour to the Jersey Shore beaches via the Atlantic City Expressway, and close to Washington Lake Park, the Gloucester-Williamstown bike trail, and the Gloucester/Salem wine trail. The community is largely built out, with most inventory now coming from resales rather than new construction.
