Silver Ridge Park West

Independent Assessment

Silver Ridge Park West is confirmed as a genuine, separately governed HOA section of the larger, four-section Silver Ridge Park community, with a confirmed clubhouse address at 145 Westbrook Drive and consistent multi-source agreement on home size ranges (1,082 to 1,500+ square feet) and amenities (shuffleboard, bocce, hobby room, library). A section-specific home count for West alone could not be isolated, only the combined total of 3,169 homes reported across all four Silver Ridge Park sections; buyers should confirm West's specific unit count directly with the association. A specific current HOA fee dollar figure for Silver Ridge Park West also could not be confirmed.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers seeking an affordable, established single-family 55+ HOA community with private patios, dens, and hardwood-floor options within the larger four-section Silver Ridge Park complex are a strong fit for Silver Ridge Park West. Its Toms River location, within reach of Ocean County beaches, shopping, and county parks and centrally positioned between New York City, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia, also suits buyers who want a Jersey Shore-adjacent retirement at a reported lower relative price point than some neighboring Holiday City-area sections.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Silver Ridge Park, including the West section, was constructed between 1968 and 1986, reaching a combined total of approximately 3,169 single-family homes across its four sections. West's homes range from 1,082 to more than 1,500 square feet, generally with two bedrooms, one or two bathrooms, and an attached one- or one-and-a-half-car garage; some homes feature private patios, dens, and hardwood floors throughout. The specific builder(s) responsible for Silver Ridge Park West's construction and a section-specific home count distinct from the four-section combined total were not independently confirmed. The section is now fully built out, and current purchases are resale.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

A 2026 real-estate aggregator comparison of neighborhood value indexes across the broader Holiday City/Silver Ridge area placed the Silver Ridge area at approximately $287,000 -- the lowest figure among the nearby sections compared in that same source (which also cited roughly $384,000 for Holiday Heights). This figure could not be independently verified against a primary MLS source, nor could a price specific to Silver Ridge Park West be isolated from the other three Silver Ridge Park sections; buyers should request current comparables specific to Silver Ridge Park West from a local agent familiar with the Toms River market.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Silver Ridge Park West has been fully built out since Silver Ridge Park's 1968-1986 construction span, so all current purchases are resale. Buyers should confirm the specific build year of any home under consideration, budget for a full independent inspection, and should request the association's current financials, reserve study, and governing-document package (bylaws and any deed restrictions) directly from the Silver Ridge Park West HOA before purchasing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Silver Ridge Park West are subject to Toms River Township and Ocean County property tax at the current municipal and county rates. No special assessment district specific to this section was found. Buyers should confirm current property tax rates and eligibility for any applicable New Jersey senior property tax relief programs directly with Toms River's tax assessor.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Silver Ridge Park West offers an affordable, single-family 55+ lifestyle centered on its own clubhouse's shuffleboard and bocce courts, hobby room, and library, with cross-access to the other Silver Ridge Park sections' clubhouse amenities as well. With some homes featuring private patios, dens, and hardwood floors, the section offers slightly more differentiated home features than a strictly uniform tract layout, within an established, low-maintenance HOA setting.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Silver Ridge Park West is located in Toms River, Ocean County, New Jersey, with its clubhouse at 145 Westbrook Drive, Toms River, NJ 08757. The section is within reach of Ocean County beaches, shopping, and county parks, with access to U.S. Route 9, NJ Route 166, and the Garden State Parkway, and is centrally positioned between New York City, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Silver Ridge Park West is consistently described by real estate sources as part of a 55-and-older community. New Jersey's housing-for-older-persons exemption under the Law Against Discrimination (N.J.S.A. 10:5-5(n)) generally requires (a) facilities or services meeting the needs of older persons, (b) at least 80% of occupied units having at least one resident 55 or older, and (c) published policies demonstrating intent to provide housing for residents 55+. A 2024 New Jersey Appellate Division ruling, NJ Realtors v. Township of Berkeley, struck down a neighboring township's ordinance that restricted property ownership (not occupancy) in age-restricted developments to buyers 55 and older, holding that only occupancy -- not ownership -- may lawfully be age-restricted under the FHA and NJLAD; this ruling concerned a municipal ordinance and does not affect a private HOA's own occupancy-based age restrictions. Buyers should confirm Silver Ridge Park West's own current recorded deed-restriction and occupancy-verification language directly with the HOA before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Silver Ridge Park West is one of four separately governed sections sharing the 'Silver Ridge Park' name, buyers must be careful to confirm they are researching the correct HOA, fee schedule, and governing documents for West specifically rather than East, North, or Westerly. Given a 1968-1986 construction span, buyers should confirm the specific build year of any home under consideration and budget for a full independent inspection, given the wide range of possible home ages across the overall development.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Silver Ridge Park, West is one of four separately governed sections (alongside East, North, and Westerly), each with its own HOA, fee schedule, and clubhouse, though all residents may access each section's clubhouse amenities. West's reported home-feature variety (private patios, dens, and hardwood floors in some units) is a distinguishing detail not found as explicitly documented for the other three sections. Compared with the nearby Holiday City at Berkeley complex's sections, Silver Ridge Park West and its sibling sections reported the lowest neighborhood-value-index figure (approximately $287,000) in a 2026 aggregator comparison.
