New Adult Community brings views, luxury and maintenance free lifestyle
May 22, Pike County - "Not everyone wants to go south when they retire," says Nancy Pitcher, Sales Agent of Century 21 Roy B. Hull in Milford, PA. Pitcher is referring to River's Edge, 150 townhouse units for those fifty-five and over who are looking for luxury and spacious living with outstanding views of the Delaware in an area they know so well.
Century 21 Roy B. Hull is the exclusive buyer agent for the community and Pitcher is thrilled about being part of what will be "The jewel within Pike County". "I've done research, it turns out people want to stay within two hours of where they have previously lived," she said. River's Edge suits that desire with the highest level of quality workmanship, and amenities. including gym, library, full service clubhouse and heated outdoor swimming pool that overlooks the Delaware River. All this exists, in the heart of diverse shopping, restaurants and commuter options.
Each unit has the master bedroom suite and necessary utilities on the first floor, with a second story loft and additional full bath for family visits. The square footage will range between 2,000 and 2,400 since those in midlife don't always want to downsize completely, but rather want someone else do the shoveling, mowing, and the other responsibilities that come with traditional ownership. Developer Steve Sameroff, and attorney Brad Kneally are partners who worked together on many successful projects, mostly on Long Island, and have quite a prestigious resume with developing communities in Oyster Bay, Melville, Hempstead and Seaford, with their Riverhead project - 192 units - going "like hotcakes."
What brought them so far north to Milford, PA? "The price of land, the attractive tax rates and other financial benefits," says Sameroff. "There were so many pluses, like, the outstanding piece of land to build on, the quickness of the zoning process, the low tax rate, and the fact that Pennsylvania doesn't tax pensions or retirement income." It all comes together here, just a stone's throw from the Delaware for the "Baby Boomers" who are retiring, but who still want to get into New York City but come home to carefree country life in Pike County. Best of all, a good percentage of this part of Pennsylvania is state or federal land which ensures that the quality of life will continue to be above-par and the traffic and population growth is limited. River's Edge is also conveniently located within minutes from historic Milford, and close to area hospitals; such as Bon Secours, train and bus lines, supermarkets and outdoor recreation.
Units like these in Orange County start at about $470,000 and up; however, River's Edge has a starting price under $280,000. "And the luxury standards go on and on," says Pitcher, with extra large bath, superior lighting, granite countertops, wood burning fireplace, oak cabinets, GE appliances, central air and semi-enclosed covered patio. Their is more Pitcher points out.glamorous exterior with architectural shingles, cedar-perfection-siding, cultured stone and copper-accented roof.
