Overview
Independent Assessment
Multiple real estate directories consistently agree on Parke Place's core facts: the 406-unit count, 1998-2003 construction span, J.S. Hovnanian builder, and mixed condo/single-family housing stock. A current HOA fee and a current 2026 price range have not been independently confirmed; buyers should request both directly from the HOA and a local agent.
Who May Find This Community Appealing
Buyers who want flexibility between a lower-maintenance condominium and a single-family home within the same age-restricted community, along with walkable access to Bethel Mills Park's sports courts and trails, are a strong fit for Parke Place. Its relatively large size (406 units) also means a wider range of resale inventory at any given time compared with smaller Sewell-area communities.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments
Homes in Parke Place are subject to Washington Township and Gloucester County property tax at the current municipal and county rates; condominium units may also carry different insurance requirements than the single-family sections.

Restrictions
Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions
Parke Place is consistently described across real estate directories as an age-restricted 55+ community. The community's own recorded deed-restriction or governing-document language has not been independently reviewed. The 2024 NJ Realtors v. Township of Berkeley appellate ruling concerns a municipality's ability to restrict ownership (not occupancy) of age-restricted units, and does not affect a private HOA's own occupancy-based age restriction. Buyers should confirm current age-verification procedures directly with the HOA.
Pros & Tradeoffs
Tradeoffs & Limitations
Because Parke Place offers two distinct housing types within one HOA, buyers should confirm exactly which fee schedule, garage/basement inclusion, and maintenance responsibilities apply to condos versus single-family sections. Parke Place does not have a golf course on-site.
Comparison With Nearby Communities
Within the Sewell/Washington Township cluster, Parke Place is the largest community by unit count (406) and the only one offering a formal condominium option alongside single-family homes, distinguishing it from the all-single-family County Gardens, Heatherwood, and The Maples.
