Solitude…in Cedar Glen West?
Imagine this: It’s the perfect end to the perfect summer day. Or maybe you’re unwinding after a hard day’s work. You grab your favorite bottle of wine or a nice cup of coffee and the best company you can find—whether that’s friends, family, a furry companion or all of the above—and retire to your private, personal deck elevated over your quiet street and overlooking the peaceful woods you’ve made your home across from.
And what if I told you this was happening in the cooperative community of Cedar Glen West in Manchester, NJ? You’d have a hard time believing that—and for good reason. As far as adult 55 communities go, if there’s one thing prospective homebuyers should be prepared to sacrifice, it’s a little bit of privacy. Whether you’re looking in Holiday City, Silver Ridge or Leisure Village, one thing that’s immediately apparent is how dense these communities can be. If you’re the affable, friendly sort, that’s fantastic news. For those who prefer a little solitude, even just some of the time, these communities can come up a little short on options.
This is especially true in the area’s many co-op communities such as the Crestwood Villages and Cedar Glen neighborhoods. The most common home type in these communities are what we call “quads,” which are essentially four-unit apartment buildings shared by stockholders (homeowners). That’s just to say there’s a good chance you’ll be getting to know your neighbors, which is a wonderful thing! Just not necessarily conducive to enjoying the outdoors uninterrupted.

And that’s precisely what makes this gem of a home so special. The option to interact with your fellow stockholders will always be there, but for those times you would like to just relax and “be,” you’ll have the means. But hey, enough about keeping the neighbors at bay. A deck like this is made for entertaining, barbecues and making memories. By the way, dog owners…rejoice! The deck is fenced with a locking gate, so if your four-legged pal is anything like mine in that they’ll chase anything that moves, rest assured you can let them out on the deck without worrying about chasing them down the street minutes later. There’s a lot to love about this location.
This home offers comfort in and out!
The exterior of the home is far from the only thing going for it. 24 Blue Jay A was a well cared for home and features critical updates that are important to homebuyers. Most notably, this is the two bedroom model (Cedar Glen West also offers a one bedroom model)! This means space for guests, an office, or anything else you can imagine. The two bed models will generally hold value both in terms of the market and overall practicality due to versatility the presence of this extra room affords you.
Presented by Crossroads Realty Executive Office: 24 Blue Jay St A in Adult 55 Cedar Glen West features beautiful hardwood floors and a lovely view of the adjacent woods.
Fans of hard wood flooring are in for a treat as it accounts for the vast majority of the home’s floorplan. When entering, the bright colors of the front and living room spaces hold the light well. For days that aren’t quite as “deck friendly,” open the up those blinds and put this home’s large front window to use. Not a beat a dead horse, but that view is a gift that keeps on giving regardless of the weather! The decorative molding in this home is always a nice touch and adds a texture to this home that others can sometimes lack.
Presented by Crossroads Realty Executive Office: The track lighting in this unit’s den make it the perfect place to display wall art or capture a home theater feel.
The den area comes set up to be the perfect place to unwind inside your home. Featuring a closet, pass-through to the updated kitchen and track lighting, this space already has character but is ready for your personal touch. For climate control, this home has a popular combination of hot water baseboard heat and central air conditioning, giving you the best ways to combat whatever’s going on outside with just the kind of comfort the day calls for.
