June 29, 2023 by Melissa DeSantis Leave a Comment

If you’re thinking about moving to Manalapan, New Jersey, you’re making a great decision. Manalapan is a charming town located in Monmouth County, NJ known for its beautiful parks, excellent schools, and vibrant community. However, one of the most important aspects of any move is understanding what you can get for your money. As a resident of Manalapan for over ten years, I’ve seen firsthand how the housing market has changed over time. In this blog post, we’ll explore the different types of housing available in Manalapan, and what you can expect to pay for each.

Condos and Townhomes

If you’re looking for a two to three bedroom condo or townhouse, there are several options in Manalapan. In the Knob Hill development, a two bedroom, two bath condo will cost you around $400,000. If you need an additional bedroom, a three bedroom townhouse in Knob Hill is priced at around $550,000, while one in the Meadow Creek development will run you over $600,000. In the Southfield Estates development, two to three bedroom townhouses are selling for $500,000 or so. Moving into the Englishtown section ofManalapan, you can expect to get more for your money. A two bedroom condo or townhouse typically costs between $300,000 to $400,000.

Single Family Homes

If you’re looking for a larger space, single-family homes are a great option. The average three-bedroom home with 1800 to 2000 square feet will cost you around $550,000 to $600,000 in Manalapan. If you have a more sizable budget, for $850,000 to $950,000, you can purchase a four to five-bedroom home.

Larger Homes

If you have a large budget and are in the market for a new home, you may want to consider Manalapan, New Jersey. If you are looking for a larger lot, Southern Manalapan may be the best choice for you. While the homes in Southern Manalapan may require a septic and well system, they make up for it with larger lots and a quieter, more private atmosphere. It is important to note that public utilities are not available in this section. Regardless of which section you choose, a budget of $1.2 million to $1.4 million can offer you a truly beautiful home with a finished basement and possibly even a pool. 

Access to Amenities

Aside from excellent housing options and top-rated schools, Manalapan has a lot more to offer. Whether you’re looking for nearby parks, excellent shopping, or a sense of community, Manalapan has it all. Being located in Monmouth County, residents have access to excellent amenities, such as Jersey Shore beaches, Six Flags Great Adventure, and Monmouth Park Racetrack.
