OPEN HOUSE Woods at Blue Heron Pines
Woods at Blue Heron Pines: close to everything, away from it all
The clubhouse at The Woods at Blue Heron Pines is a study in comfort. The look is pure Arts and Crafts, with a wide-open great room, wooden floors and cabinets, a two-story barrel ceiling and big banks of windows that let the sunlight pour in. Oversized leather sofas, caramel-colored walls, simple polished tables and fat pottery lamps complete the cozy Craftsman look.
Residents clamor to book private parties at the clubhouse, which also features a billiard room, fitness center and business center. Outside, there are two pools (one with a fountain) and a cabana house for summer.
But of all the benefits of living at this six-year-old, 330-unit Galloway apartment community, the most important is—you guessed it—location, location, location.
The Woods at Blue Heron Pines is tucked between the rolling Blue Heron Pines Golf Course and a wooded preserve. For residents, that means utter peace and quiet just minutes from the hurly burly of the White Horse and Black Horse Pikes, the Expressway and Atlantic City. Hamilton Mall is close by. Cherry Hill and Philadelphia are an easy commute away.
The community’s website touts its “luxury, lifestyle and convenience.” It lives up to those claims, says property manager Norma Meyer, who lives on the premises.
“You definitely feel like you’re living in your own home,” says Meyer. “From my patio overlooking the woods I watch the birds. It’s just spectacular, and very serene. I have a family above me, and I rarely hear them.” Each apartment has a private entrance and garage with direct access.
“We are considered low-density, with just six units to the acre,” says director of property management Anne Macy, who adds that the apartments are “beautifully contemporary, with free-flowing floor plans, nine-foot ceilings, electric fireplaces.”
Kitchens feature pristine white-on-white appliances, 42-inch cabinets for maximum storage and a dove-grey breakfast bar.
Says Meyer, “The bathrooms are so large, you could comfortably put a large piece of furniture (armoire, sideboard, vanity) in there—it’s like having an extra room.” Bathrooms also include garden soaking tubs for luxurious lolling.
The one-to-three-bedroom apartments rent from $1,295 and are up to 2,226 square feet. Short-term leases are available.
“We have all the amenities with none of the maintenance,” says Macy. “Best of all, we have these unique surroundings. There is no other community in South Jersey so convenient to everything, but with the luxury of overlooking a golf course.”
