This is a very nice area. It’s a retirement community and most of the houses have a beautiful large bay window and garages.

Nice houses friendly neighbors. This is a co-op and there are no renters allowed.That's one of the reasons why I moved here , but a lot of grown children that don't belong live here and that's worse ... No use in complaining, the board does nothing . Lawn service sucks too . Live here and keep to yourself and it's fine . I will not get involved in here at all 😁

Moved to Cedar Glen 07/18, so far love it here, very quiet, friendly and maintenance has been excellent . I have yet to get involved with activities but have attended the Fall craft sales and felt very welcome. Looking forward to many years to come.

Best kept secret in Ocean County as far as retirement communities go. Beautiful stick built homes on larger well cared for lots (compared to many in the area). Houses available in most price ranges. I suspect I will be living here one day. Only negatives for us would be the lack of an onsite swimming pool, but there are pools nearby. Most homes are only have one bath, but a few have two.
