Active adults who want a golf course view from their new home should consider these Southern New Jersey communities.

South Jerseyans sure do love their golf—the fact that 16 of the active adult communities here have golf courses speaks for itself. One might think that this resort-style feature indicates high-priced homes, but this is not necessarily the case. Even the most expensive homes for sale in the higher-priced golf course communities top off in the high $400s.

Most of these neighborhoods are in Ocean County, but there are a few in Atlantic, Burlington, and Gloucester County as well. They range from 90 homes up to almost 2,700, with a wide variety of floor plans. You’ll also find desirable upgrades, friendly neighbors, and clubhouses with additional amenities to fill up your leisure time.

Here are four golf course communities in Southern New Jersey to consider.
