Nobility Crest at Ocean, an exclusive resort style community for active adults 55 and better, experienced a great turnout this past weekend, as small groups of singles came to see the debut of newly revised and professionally decorated models that are now available for sale.

Impressed with the luxurious surroundings, secure setting, and low maintenance living, the community proved to be very appealing to several women who were visiting the community for a third time. Two of these women, who have become widows within the past two years, were finally ready to make offers on two quick delivery homes, and brought their children with them for final approval.

"There have been a number of recent widows and widowers visiting this community in search of a new and simpler lifestyle," asserts Marlene Santaniello, Marketing Director for Nobility Crest. "Some are conflicted about selling a home that holds special memories or they are frightened to make such a big decision alone, so they usually bring their children and friends here for their opinions." She adds "That's an intelligent approach to making this decision because family and friends prove invaluable in guiding our customers in the right direction."

Very often, the right direction is Nobility Crest for single adults who lack the time, resources, or ability to deal with home maintenance chores. "A number of our homeowners are widows who relied solely on their spouses or children to deal with home maintenance issues over the years," states Santaniello. "Hence, they love the low maintenance way of life here."

In addition to the convenience of a carefree lifestyle and secure surroundings, friendly neighbors also appeal to many adults who now find themselves alone. "Although most residents have family nearby, they can still occasionally experience loneliness. However, it doesn't last long with the lively residents here," claims Santaniello. "Having neighbors with similar circumstances has created a sense of camaraderie and the socializing never stops."

For example, homeowners can often be found in the plush yet cozy library, chatting over a cup of coffee or discussing hobbies and other leisure activities they now have time to pursue. Most residents are pleased with the effortless lifestyle offered here, and finally have the time to take up new sports and hobbies. In addition, many social clubs have formed that are very laid back, easy to join, and most importantly, fun.

For residents who head south for the winter, the turnkey setting is perfect, and for those who spend winter here, snow shoveling, salting walkways, and scraping ice off a frozen car is no longer an issue. Warmer months require little effort either, as residents spend their days lounging by a pool and at sunset, the clubhouse becomes the chosen spot for refreshments and conversation.

With this easy lifestyle, it's no wonder Nobility Crest is so appealing to single adults who want an intimate resort-like setting. The community contains just 198 upscale single level homes situated within five dazzling mid-rise buildings that include stunning two-story lobbies, gracious meeting rooms, personal storage areas and secured, underground parking.

Homes range in size from 1100 to 2167 square feet and feature two bedrooms, and two full baths. For homebuyers who desire more square footage, third floor penthouse homes offer the bonus of a sizable loft. Striking designs and open floor plans also make for casual entertaining, and feature gourmet kitchens, spacious dining/living areas, cozy dens and expansive balconies. Master baths include a luxurious soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, and a large dressing gallery with well-proportioned walk in closets. Andersen windows, granite countertops, Whirlpool appliances and Kohler plumbing fixtures are just a few of the many superior products given as standard.

Each building has a themed gathering room which is accessible by all and offers the chance for residents to get to know one another. The Devonshire Building hosts a gracious library complete with a wide assortment of reading materials while the Wilshire Building contains a card room. The Yorkshire Building houses an impressive theatre where residents gather for movie nights. There is also a luxurious spa being planned for the fourth building.

The focal point of the community is a luxurious 4300 square foot clubhouse designed to appeal to even the most discerning homebuyer. Inside, residents often congregate in the inviting lounge area that features handsome built-ins, a huge flat screen television, ornate coffered ceilings, and well-appointed furniture groupings that are clustered around a massive stone fireplace. Residents also enjoy the benefits of a state-of-the-art fitness center, billiard room, & business center featuring computer work stations.

Just outside the clubhouse sits a heated beach entrance pool surrounded by vibrant gardens, life-size chess, and a putting green and bocce court. Prospective buyers and residents alike are continually drawn to this enchanting courtyard area, where meticulously landscaped grounds and lamp-lined walkways provide a picturesque backdrop to this captivating community. Of all the amenities offered, close proximity to the pool and clubhouse is the biggest draw, as everything is within walking distance.

Located directly off Highway 66 in the Wayside section of Ocean Township, Nobility Crest offers a great Monmouth County location for homebuyers who demand close proximity to beautiful beaches, golf courses, and great shopping. This spectacular community is just a five minute drive from the Garden State Parkway, 195, and Highways 18 &35, making trips to friends and family a breeze. In addition, New York and Atlantic City are just an hour by car.

Interested homebuyers can view several furnished models at the on-site sales center, which is open daily from 10 am -5 pm. All three buildings, as well as the clubhouse, pool and surrounding campus, have been completed, and just a handful of homes remain available; many for quick delivery, which represents an invaluable opportunity for customers who are in need of a home immediately. In addition, reservations are now being accepted for homes in Phase II, which is slated to be complete in fall 2009. Prices begin in the mid $300,000's.
