Lions Head South

Independent Assessment

Lions Head South is confirmed as a genuine, well-established, golf-centered 55+ community with consistent multi-source agreement on its 615-home count, 1983-1987 construction period, and shared nine-hole executive golf course with the adjacent Lions Head North. Current resale pricing and the original developer's identity were not independently confirmed; buyers should confirm both directly with a local agent and the association, respectively. Reported HOA fees vary somewhat by listing (roughly $190-$220/month), which is treated as a plausible current range rather than a conflict.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want an included, on-site nine-hole executive golf course as part of their 55+ community — shared with the neighboring Lions Head North — along with tennis, pickleball, and shuffleboard, are a strong fit for Lions Head South.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Lions Head South was built between 1983 and 1987, comprising 615 ranch-style homes with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a one-car garage, ranging from approximately 1,200 to 1,700 square feet. 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

A current resale price range for Lions Head South is not independently confirmed. Given the community's 1983-1987 construction window and 1,200-1,700 square foot ranch homes, buyers should request recent closed comparables from a local agent familiar with the Brick market.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Lions Head South was built out between 1983 and 1987 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 South 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 South includes a nine-hole executive golf course on 29 acres of pinelands and wetlands, shared with the adjacent Lions Head North community. Residents of both communities can purchase memberships for unlimited golf six days a week, and non-residents can play for a daily fee. 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 South offers a golf-centered 55+ lifestyle built around its shared nine-hole executive course with Lions Head North, supplemented by tennis, pickleball, bocce, and both indoor and outdoor shuffleboard, within a ranch-home setting dating to the mid-1980s.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Lions Head South is located in Brick Township, Ocean County, New Jersey, near the Garden State Parkway, with access to shopping, dining, fishing, and boating, plus the beaches of the Jersey Shore.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Lions Head South is marketed as a 55+ active adult 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 1983-1987, buyers should budget for a full independent inspection covering original systems and any subsequent renovation history. Buyers should confirm current resale pricing and the original developer's identity directly, as neither could be independently confirmed. Golf-focused buyers should also confirm current membership costs and course access terms directly with the association, since the course is shared with Lions Head North rather than exclusive to Lions Head South residents.
