The Crestwood Villages are unincorporated communities in Whiting, New Jersey, a section of Manchester Township of Ocean County. The "Villages" offer housing for adults who are 55 or older (referred to as Adult Communities or Retirement Communities). Crestwood Villages is comprised of seven entirely separate and unique communites and they are identified as Village I through Village VII.
Villages I - IV are cooperative ownership and Villages V - VII are fee simple ownership. See the FAQ's on this page for explainations of real estate ownership.
Each Village offers it own unique amenities, activities and social events to its residents.
Residents do not directly own the real esate. Instead they buy shares in a corporation which owns the home and land. The corporation gives the share holder the right to occupy a specific property. Residents do not receive a deed to the property.
Fee simple is ownership of real estate, by which the owner has the greatest power over the title and unrestricted control over the property. Essentially and subject to local ordinances and zoning regualtions, fee simple ownership extends to the owner the right to use, lease, sell or transfer the property as they see fit.
