Greenbriar Oceanaire Community Association is not your typical adult community. Building started in 2002 by US homes with transition in 2017. With 1,425 homes spread along 10 miles of roadway this gated community nestled in the pine barrens is continually active to say the least. The association is governed by a 5-member, elected Board of Directors who enlist 13 committees. These committees are truly representative of the community, they offer their insights and advice to the Board. Also supporting the board is Taylor Management and a 28 person CAI trained staff who keep the facilities well maintained and open from 6:30 in the morning to 11:00 o’clock at night weekly.

Your experience starts when you are greeted by the Marion Security officer at our main entrance. Coming down Greenbriar Boulevard you see the golf course as you approach the picturesque clubhouse. The 38,000 square foot clubhouse hosts 60+ clubs. In addition to all the club events the association sponsors well known entertainers especially from the New York market. This results in the ballroom which seats 400 people being in demand and booked over a year in advance. The clubhouse features the typical amenities including gym, indoor pool, billiards, various meeting, and arts and crafts rooms. Do you want to relax in the summertime? The outdoor pool provides a perfect setting overlooking the 1st and 18th holes. During the summertime Friday night outdoor socials are held with DJs. Members bring their lawn chairs and party the night away. After a game of tennis, pickle ball, bocce, an 18-hole round of golf or just hanging out, the pub is a welcome area for members to sit and relax and enjoy the offerings of the bartender. Feel like eating? The restaurant is open and ready to serve you with a variety of dishes. Yes, we even have Karaoke nights. As with everyone else the board is taking the steps to getting back to “normal”. Our outside amenities are open, and they are gradually opening the indoor rooms while staying in compliance with the Executive Orders of the Governor. The board’s motto has been “This board will err on the side of caution.” They hope that everyone comes through this pandemic healthy.

Regency at Monroe Homeowners Association is a Lifestyle Community of 1,274 homes in Monroe Township. It goes without saying that all communities faced challenges during the past year, especially lifestyle communities in which a certain level of events and activities are expected. The Board of Trustees at Regency in conjunction with the FirstService onsite management team remained steadfast in this mission and created a phased plan approach to opening and keeping open all the community outdoor amenities for homeowners to enjoy during the pandemic. Outdoor amenities that the community opened are the Golf Course, Outdoor

Swimming Pool, all 6 tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce and shuffleboard. This community did not stop there, due to the cooperation of the community members to follow all executive orders and NJ DOH guidelines, the onsite management team was able to execute outdoor social functions in the clubhouse parking lots, as well as, community themed dinner nights. By staggering reservations for these events, any community member who wished join their neighbors, socially distanced of course, for an evening of fun and laughter had the opportunity. And the weather got colder we didn’t stop there….we had contest around the community like our Search for Snowy, in which 20 snowmen were placed around the community for the members to find and we would be remiss if we did not mention our holiday ice carving event held in the parking lot in which 200 homeowners came out to enjoy a beautiful dessert spread and watch a block of ice be turned into a snowman and another into a deer. During a time when other communities were locked down tight, Regency at Monroe continued to strive towards the very thing we are a COMMUNITY.
