Freehold New Construction Is Here: Inside DR Horton’s Renaissance Estates

January 13, 2026 by Melissa DeSantis Leave a Comment

Finding Freehold new construction has become increasingly rare, especially for buyers looking for single-family homes in established Monmouth County neighborhoods. That’s why the launch of Renaissance Estates, a new luxury development by DR Horton, is getting so much attention.

Renaissance Estates is a boutique new construction community located in West Freehold, offering a limited number of upscale homes in a market where most available inventory is resale. Below is a full breakdown of the community, location, pricing expectations, and who this neighborhood is best suited for.

🏡 Overview: Renaissance Estates at Freehold

Renaissance Estates is planned as an intimate enclave of approximately 25 luxury single-family homes in Freehold Township, New Jersey. Unlike large-scale developments with hundreds of homes, this community is intentionally smaller, more private, and designed for move-up buyers seeking space, modern layouts, and long-term value.

Home features include:

  • 4-5 bedrooms
  • 2.5-3 bathrooms
  • 2-car garages
  • Basements (some partially finished)
  • 3,000+ square feet depending on floor plan

This is not a townhome community or age-restricted neighborhood. Renaissance Estates is designed for buyers who want a traditional suburban single-family home with modern construction and luxury finishes.

📍 Location: West Freehold, Freehold Township NJ

Renaissance Estates is located off Elton Adelphia Road near Iron Bridge Road in Freehold Township. The community sits close to established neighborhoods such as College Park, Monmouth Heights, and Stonehurst.

From this location, residents enjoy:

  • Easy access to Route 9
  • Proximity to Freehold Raceway Mall and major shopping
  • A short drive to downtown Freehold restaurants and events
  • Convenient access to other parts of Monmouth County
  • Approximately 30-45 minutes to the Jersey Shore

This central location is a major reason demand for Freehold new construction remains strong despite limited availability.

🎓 Schools: A Major Draw for Buyers

Homes in Renaissance Estates are served by:

  • Freehold Township Public Schools (K-8)
  • Freehold Regional High School District

The regional high school district serves six municipalities and is well known for its magnet programs and specialized academic tracks. School quality continues to be one of the top reasons families choose Freehold Township over neighboring areas.

🛠️ Interior Finishes & Design

According to builder marketing and current listings, Renaissance Estates homes feature modern, move-in-ready finishes including:

  • Open-concept main living areas
  • Large kitchens with quartz countertops
  • White cabinetry and stainless steel appliances
  • Recessed lighting and upgraded flooring
  • Smart home technology packages
  • Loft spaces and upstairs laundry (select plans)
  • Turnkey landscaping packages

These homes are designed to appeal to today’s buyers who want new construction without extensive customization delays.

💰 Pricing & Construction Timeline

Pricing for Renaissance Estates is always subject to change, but recent MLS activity has shown homes listed in the low to mid $1 million range, depending on lot and floor plan.

Important timeline notes:

  • Subdivision approvals were granted in 2023
  • Developer agreements were authorized in early 2024
  • Homes are currently under construction and actively selling
  • Some floor plans show estimated 2026 delivery timelines

This is not a future concept community. Buyers can see real progress on site today.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who Is Renaissance Estates Best For?

Renaissance Estates is a strong fit for:

  • Move-up buyers from Freehold, Manalapan, Marlboro, or Colts Neck
  • Buyers relocating from North Jersey or New York City
  • Families seeking new construction, larger floor plans, and strong schools
  • Buyers who prefer a smaller, upscale neighborhood over a massive subdivision

With only 25 homes planned, this community is expected to sell out quickly compared to larger developments.

🏁 Final Thoughts on Freehold New Construction

If you love Freehold Township but have struggled to find new construction homes in a central, established area, Renaissance Estates is one of the very few options currently available. Limited inventory, strong schools, and a desirable Monmouth County location make this development worth serious consideration.

If you’re exploring Freehold new construction or want to know whether Renaissance Estates is the right move, professional guidance can help you navigate builder timelines, pricing changes, and contract details.
