Crestwood Village Five sits in the Pine Barrens of Whiting, NJ, covering about 260 acres, and it's part of a group of Crestwood Village communities, which are numbered from 1 to 7. Folks aged 55 and older find single-level homes here, with 1,113 houses spread across the property and 13 different models ranging from 620 to 1,409 square feet. The community focuses on seniors who want independent living, but there are also options for assisted living, memory care, respite care, and even nursing services, so people can get help with bathing, dressing, medication, and eating when they need it. Most homes come with features like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone service, and many are furnished.
Residents pay low taxes and modest monthly fees that cover things like lawn mowing, snow plowing, garbage pickup, and roof work, which helps keep up the place. Living here means using well-kept walking paths, meeting friends in the clubhouse or banquet hall, and joining activities such as bingo, monthly dances, line dancing, aerobics, bocce, and ongoing clubs. There's also a fitness program, outdoor events, arts and crafts, music, movie nights, and resident-organized gatherings. The free community bus on a weekly schedule takes people to shops, banks, health offices, churches, and nearby towns like Toms River, Lacey, and Bricktown.
Meals often come from a professional chef, with choices for allergies or diabetes, served in dining rooms with both all-day and restaurant-style service. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and move-in help all get arranged right through the community, too. The whole area gets regular safety checks, like fire hydrant flushing, and there's a 24-hour emergency and repair line. Crestwood Village Five is close to restaurants, parks, medical providers, and banks, and sits about half an hour from the Jersey Shore, about the same distance from both New York City and Philadelphia, which makes it feel pretty central. Most homes are available for sale, and at least one person in each must be over 55.
The property has an assessed value for 2023 at just over two million dollars, and the estimated market worth for July 2025 sits a little above $1.3 million, though it's currently off the market. Residents take part in small trips and big outings, making it easy to keep busy and social. Crestwood Village Five keeps its focus on offering seniors a safe, pleasant neighborhood with support for independence or extra care, all inside a well-established and welcoming community.
