Lions Head North

Independent Assessment

Lions Head North is confirmed as a genuine, established 55+ community with consistent multi-source agreement on its 360-home count, 1979-1986 construction period, and shared nine-hole golf course with Lions Head South. The current exact monthly HOA fee and the original developer's identity are not independently confirmed; buyers should confirm both directly with the association.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a smaller, more affordable golf-adjacent 55+ community than its larger neighbor Lions Head South, with access to the same shared nine-hole course, tennis, and a community pool, are a strong fit for Lions Head North. Its relatively affordable pricing (reported low $200,000s to high $300,000s) also suits value-oriented buyers within Brick's golf-community cluster.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Lions Head North was built between 1979 and 1986, comprising 360 single-family and attached homes. Models range from around 1,000 to over 1,300 square feet, featuring two bedrooms, one-and-a-half to two bathrooms, and a one-car garage. Nothing in the sources reviewed independently confirmed the identity of the original developer. The community is now fully built out, and current purchases are resale.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Resale homes at Lions Head North have been reported priced affordably in the low $200,000s to high $300,000s, positioning it as one of the more accessible golf-adjacent 55+ options within Brick Township. Buyers should request current closed comparables from a local agent familiar with the Brick market.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Lions Head North was built out between 1979 and 1986 and has been fully built out for decades, so all current purchases are resale. Buyers should budget for a full independent inspection and should request the association's current financials, reserve study, and governing-document package before purchasing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Lions Head North are subject to Brick Township and Ocean County property tax at the current municipal and county rate. Buyers should confirm current tax figures directly with the Ocean County Tax Assessor's office and request the association's current financials and reserve study before purchasing.

Golf

Lions Head North shares a nine-hole executive golf course with the adjacent, larger Lions Head South community. Current membership pricing has not been independently confirmed; golf-focused buyers should confirm current terms directly with the course operator or association.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Lions Head North offers a smaller-scale, golf-adjacent 55+ lifestyle sharing its course access with the larger neighboring Lions Head South, supplemented by its own clubhouse, pool, billiards, and tennis amenities, within a late-1970s-to-mid-1980s home stock.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Lions Head North is located in Brick Township, Ocean County, New Jersey, with easy access to major highways and just minutes from the shore, shopping areas, and restaurants.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Lions Head North is described by secondary sources as a 55+ retirement community. Buyers should confirm the community's actual current age-verification and occupancy-restriction standard directly with the association, since its own recorded governing-document language has not been independently reviewed. New Jersey's *NJ Realtors v. Township of Berkeley* (App. Div. 2024) ruling concerned a municipal ordinance restricting property ownership by age, not a private HOA's right to restrict occupancy, so it does not affect the enforceability of the community's own private age-restriction covenants.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because construction dates to 1979-1986, buyers should budget for a full independent inspection covering original systems and any subsequent renovation history. Buyers should confirm the current exact HOA fee and the original developer's identity directly with the association, as neither could be independently confirmed. Golf-focused buyers should confirm current membership costs and course access terms directly, since the course is shared with the larger Lions Head South rather than exclusive to Lions Head North residents.
