Cheshire Square

Cheshire Square is an age-restricted community in Little Silver, New Jersey, that's meant for people aged 55 and over, and it's got both townhouse and apartment-style homes, so you'll see units ranging from about 1,374 to 2,008 square feet, and most homes come with big living rooms, eat-in kitchens, and first-floor master bedrooms, which lots of folks really want as they get older, and you'll find places with direct access to a private atrium right from the kitchen, the living room, and the master bath, plus upstairs there are extra bedrooms and a second full bath. Built in 1974, Cheshire Square isn't new, but it keeps up with common area maintenance, lawn work, and snow removal, and that's all included in the HOA fee, which sits at $414 a month, and the HOA runs the place so residents don't have to worry about those things. The community's got a real friendly feel with 44 condominiums, a mix of townhouses and apartment homes, and pets are welcome here. It's got features like electric baseboard heating, central air cooling, a balcony, parking in an attached garage, and even more parking in common areas, and the whole place sits on a cul-de-sac, so there's less traffic, and the lots aren't too big, usually around 1,742 square feet. The foundation's slab, the homes are attached, and they all connect to a public sewer system, which makes things easier. Residents like that the Little Silver train station's less than a mile away, and people can walk to local shops and restaurants. Cheshire Square is part of a larger senior living setup, so folks get a range of support with things like meal services, medication help, housekeeping, and some staff is there to help with daily routines like dressing, plus they accommodate people who have special diets, including diabetes diets. There's also high-speed internet, a phone line, and opportunities for activities, while some residents might get advanced care for memory issues or health needs, with round-the-clock nursing for those who need it. Some people use respite care here, giving family caregivers a break, and even though the details for some amenities aren't spelled out, it's clear that Cheshire Square works to offer a routine that's safe, convenient, and supportive, focusing on letting folks keep their independence as long as possible.
