Brookdale Townhomes for Sale

Living in Brookdale

Brookdale went up in 1986 — the whole community, in a single year — in Williamstown, Monroe Township, along Baywood Drive and Brookdale Boulevard. The homes are interior and end-of-row townhomes with a share of twins, three bedrooms typically, on public water and sewer. There are no basements, but a good number of these have attached garages, which is uncommon for attached housing of this age in the township.

The association is the thing that sets Brookdale apart, and it is worth understanding before you compare it to anything else. The fee covers the common areas and nothing more — no exterior building maintenance, no lawn care, no snow removal. It is among the lowest monthly fees of any attached community in Monroe Township, and the trade is straightforward: you keep more of your money every month and you look after your own roof, siding and grounds.

That makes Brookdale the opposite proposition to something like Brandywine Village, where the fee runs several times higher and the association handles the building envelope for you. Neither is better in the abstract — it depends entirely on whether you would rather pay monthly or maintain. Buyers who intend to stay a long time and do their own upkeep tend to land here. For the wider attached market, the Williamstown condos and townhomes page covers every community of this kind, and Bluebell Farms and Fox Hollow are the closest in age.
