Manchester, Ocean County

What we see in Manchester

Manchester Township covers about 82 square miles of western Ocean County, bordered by Jackson, Toms River, Berkeley, Lacey, and Plumsted, with Pemberton and Woodland townships in Burlington County on its west side. It completely surrounds the borough of Lakehurst and contains Lakehurst Naval Air Station, site of the 1937 Hindenburg disaster. Most homes sit in planned communities such as Crestwood Village, Leisure Village West, Leisure Knoll, Cedar Glen Lakes, Cedar Glen West, and Pine Lake Park, with Routes 70 and 37 and County Routes 530 and 539 crossing town.

Selling a house in Manchester: what's different here

Whiting adult communities

Crestwood Village in Whiting was developer Michael Kokes's first active adult community, begun in 1964, and Leisure Technology built the Leisure Villages in the township. Selling in these communities can mean association rules, approval steps, and a smaller pool of buyers. When a house has to be sold after a death or a move, we buy it as-is for cash and work through the community's process.

Pine Lake Park and the boom

Pine Lake Park is the township's largest development, built around a man-made lake created in the 1970s. Manchester grew from about 7,550 residents in 1970 to nearly 28,000 in 1980, so a large share of its houses date from that building wave. Homes of that age often still have original roofs, windows, and heating systems. We buy them without repairs or updates.

The Great Pine City

Manchester's nickname is "The Great Pine City," and the township appears on the New Jersey Pinelands Commission's list of Pinelands municipalities. Pinelands land-use rules can limit what a new owner is allowed to add or build on a lot. We buy Manchester houses for what they are now, so the sale doesn't depend on a buyer's plans for expansion.

Inherited a house in Manchester? The Ocean County Surrogate's Court is in Toms River, a few minutes from our office. We handle the title work and deal directly with the estate's executor or court-appointed administrator, who signs the sale. If no one has been appointed yet, we'll walk you through that step. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group.

Questions from Manchester sellers

Manchester FAQ

Will you buy a house in Crestwood Village or another Whiting community?

Yes. We buy homes in Manchester's planned communities as-is for cash, and we work through the community's resale requirements as part of closing.

I inherited a Manchester house that hasn't been updated since the 1970s or 1980s. Is that a problem?

No. We buy dated houses with original kitchens, baths, and systems, and you don't have to clean out or repair anything before we close.

Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?

In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.

How fast can you close on a Manchester house?

Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.

Are you a local company?

Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Ocean County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
