The Village Grande at Little Mill

The Village Grande at Little Mill is an established 55+ active adult community in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, developed by D.R. Horton between 2003 and 2006. The community encompasses 299 single-family ranch-style homes built across five floor plans ranging from 1,372 to 2,261 square feet, most featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Homes were designed with active adults in mind — open floor plans, first-floor master suites, 9-foot ceilings, and low-maintenance exteriors. The community is now fully built out and entirely resale. Life here centers on the 10,000-square-foot Grande Club, a clubhouse that punches well above its weight for a community of this size. Inside, residents have access to an indoor lap pool, a well-equipped fitness center, a grand ballroom, a catering kitchen for private events, a card room, an arts and crafts studio, and a library. The fitness schedule includes yoga, Zumba, and other group classes. Outside, there's a resort-style outdoor pool, tennis courts, bocce ball, and horseshoe courts, plus walking paths winding through the neighborhood. Socially, the community is active but low-key — this isn't a mega-community with hundreds of clubs, it's a tight-knit neighborhood where residents know each other. Regular activities include card games, book club, movie nights, art workshops, and adult education classes. The HOA is $235 per month and covers lawn maintenance and common grounds and amenities, making day-to-day living genuinely low-maintenance. The community has been professionally managed by DiLucia Management Corporation since 2009. Location is a major selling point. The Village Grande at Little Mill sits just off Mill Road in Egg Harbor Township, a suburban Atlantic County township with a strong base of shopping, dining, and medical services. Three golf courses are within the township itself. Atlantic City, with its casinos, boardwalk, beaches, and entertainment, is about 20 minutes away, as is Ocean City with its family-friendly boardwalk and beaches. The Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway give residents fast access up and down the coast and inland toward Philadelphia, roughly 60 miles west. Everyday conveniences — Hamilton Mall, grocery stores, AtlantiCare hospital campuses, and Storybook Land for visiting grandkids — are all within a short drive.
