Adult Community
For People Over 55: Fountainhead, a community for people 55 and over, in Jackson offers manufactured homes from about 1,000 square feet and larger. Fountainhead is a land-lease community, a home ownership opportunity that allows the home buyer to buy the home and lease the lot. This allows the home owner to spend less at the time of the buy than if a comparable home were purchased on his own private property. Nice people who have led responsible lives live at Fountainhead. Over time, as people occasionally want to move, the Fountainhead home owner will sell their home to another prospective home owner who will enter into a lease with Fountainhead.
Land leasing in NJ is a secure relationship, based on credit history and income of the prospective home owner. It is usually
at the home owner’s election to terminate the lease arrangement. In this residential lease where the homeowner is invested in the home, there are several strong consumer protections supporting the longevity of the relationship. Fountainhead is one of the best ways to live comfortably in style as retirement approaches and leisure time becomes more precious. Our excellent location, in the middle of NJ, offers easy and rapid access to all the majors: I-195, Garden State Parkway, Route 9, 295, NJ Turnpike. Fifty miles to NYC, 40 miles to Philadelphia, 50 minutes to Staten Island, 1hr 15 minutes to Atlantic City and 20 minutes to the Jersey shore.
But what’s in a name? Terminology is so important- it can be so exact
there is no mistake what it describes or it can be a phrase that just doesn’t do it. In the world of manufactured housing there continues to be some confusion on the part of the home shopper. What is the difference between a manufactured home, a mobile home, and a modular home? In NJ, all homes must be built to NJ’s specific body of codes and standards; some are equal to the federal standards, some are more strenuous than the federal housing standards. This is good to know, but since all homes will be 100% inspected in NJ, the buyer can really take the durability of construction as “a given”, meaning that once it has a certificate of occupancy it meets or exceeds the requirements.
