The Village Grande at Camelot

The Village Grande at Camelot is a 450-home, age-restricted 55+ community in Glassboro, New Jersey, built by D.R. Horton between roughly 2007 and 2018. The community is now sold out, so all transactions are resale, and it has matured into an established, amenity-rich neighborhood in Gloucester County's countryside just off Route 55. Life at Camelot revolves around the 18,000 square foot Club Grande clubhouse at 2 Clubhouse Way. Inside, residents enjoy a large ballroom with a dance floor and catering kitchen for community events, a state-of-the-art fitness room with treadmills, ellipticals, recumbent bikes, an air bike, and strength equipment, plus scheduled fitness classes. The clubhouse also houses two card rooms with standard game tables and dedicated poker tables (including a casino-quality Texas Hold 'Em table and 7-player poker tables), a billiard room with two regulation pool tables, a shuffleboard table, and darts, an arts and crafts room, a well-stocked library, two conference rooms, and a gathering room with a fireplace. A full-time activities director programs the calendar year-round. Outdoors, residents gather at the community's resort-style pool (open Memorial Day through Labor Day) behind the clubhouse, which doubles as the host site for happy hours and summer holiday barbeques. Additional outdoor recreation includes a 2-lane bocce court, a cornhole lane, two horseshoe pits, a basketball net, walking and nature trails, a gazebo, and scenic ponds — several of which are stocked for fishing. Group bocce and horseshoe nights appear on the events calendar alongside dozens of active clubs and interest groups, including board games, a breakfast club, dinner group, line dancing, bowling, softball, golf, swimming, walking, bridge, and poker. Homes are all single-family, single-story (with a couple of two-story loft plans) ranch designs across seven floor plans ranging from roughly 1,299 to 2,463 square feet. Popular models include the Coventry, Deerfield, Eden, and Brookhaven. Layouts feature 2 to 3 bedrooms, 2 to 2.5 baths, first-floor master suites, attached two-car garages, and options like sunrooms, screened-in porches, gas fireplaces, and gourmet "7 Diamond Kitchen" packages with 42-inch cabinets, granite counters, and stainless appliances. The monthly HOA of $255 covers common-area and lawn maintenance, snow removal, irrigation water from a community well, and management through MEM Property Management. The location is one of South Jersey's most convenient. Camelot sits minutes off Route 55 with quick access to I-295 and the NJ Turnpike, placing downtown Philadelphia roughly 25-35 minutes away, Philadelphia International Airport about 25-30 minutes away, and the Jersey Shore and Atlantic City within an hour. Rowan University is practically at the community's doorstep, giving residents walkable access to Division III athletics, the Pfleeger Concert Hall, the Wilson Concert Hall, and ongoing cultural programming. Day-to-day errands are handled by the nearby Glassboro Town Center, Deptford Mall, and the Cherry Hill commercial corridor, and medical care is covered by Jefferson Washington Township Hospital (about 10 minutes east) and Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill (about 12 minutes west). For nature lovers, Scotland Run Park, Ceres Park, and the region's wineries, glass museums, and historic Pitman theater district fill out a well-rounded lifestyle in one of South Jersey's most popular 55+ communities.
