Home builders in South Jersey, and throughout the country, have continued to keep a watchful eye on the baby boomer generation.  As this population segment ages, home builders have tried to anticipate their lifestyle needs and wants and in response continue to construct new and improved 55 and over active adult communities. 

It is believed by the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) that this market has not yet reached its potential according to the Aug. 13th news release.  Their belief is evidenced by the continuous construction of the 55 and over communities throughout the state and across the country.  Within the South Jersey area there are now numerous active adult age restricted communities available, along with a number of locations planned for new construction in the upcoming years.
