I am/was a resident of this facility

I am a resident of Leisure Village. I'm right on the lake, which is beautiful. It has a lot of natural beauty, ducks, and swans. We have two pools, one heated, and they're both outdoors. They have a lot of activities, but I didn't participate because I was taking care of my great-grandsons. There are a lot of amenities if you wish to take advantage of them, and I'm active in water aerobics. The staff is very good. If you need any help with appliances or anything else, they're very responsiv…

Cockroaches! My mom has had a cockroach infestation in her Leisure Village unit for over a year. The critters are coming from the next door neighbor’s unit, which is a disgusting mess. My mom is living a nightmare and Leisure Village does nothing about it. So much for Quality of Life.

I purchased a condo there in summer on second floor with a lake golf course view. I think this place is really peaceful and the view I have is terrific. The golf course a pitch and putt if kept up everyday and the pools also. I think this place is a best kept secret. I have an open porch two bedroom washer dryer in unit. Highly recommend to purchase.

We have seven lakes here, we have an exercise room, and we have a hall to use when we gather or function a party. Overall, I just don't like where I'm at, and I don't want to be in New Jersey anymore. We have a golf course where we can play golf. I'm not an avid golfer, so it doesn't impress me. The pools are nice in the summer. I'm not impressed w…

I want to preface my following comment, saying The Village and the houses and people who live at the community are terrific and the amenities that were built into the community are wonderful, even if the HOA IS a bit higher than many other communities. I am NOT, herein, speaking to any other issue(s) in LV or with LV life, than the one which pertains to the problem and people involved in this comment profile. My greatest issue is with the inferior customer service of the Administration, adding that they are PAID em…

I visited this facility

My parents will sign the lease for Leisure Village next week. It was very nice and well taken care of. They liked the area, have friends over there, and were more with their own age group.
