Discover Bartlett Landing
At Bartlett Landing, renters find convenience, comfort—and enough space to enjoy it.
Those who crave the comforts of home without the fuss and trouble of home maintenance may find a perfect solution in Bartlett Landing, a rental community surrounded by wooded wildlife habitat in historic Tuckerton, Ocean County.
The community’s chief selling point is its “homelike environment, without all the work,” says Manager Frances Pascavage. “There’s a big clientele for that, including professionals who are just too busy to be bothered with upkeep.”
Bartlett Landing, which opened in 2006, includes miles of trails where walkers and joggers are likely to see osprey, deer, foxes and rare turtles. Of more than 60 original acres, 43 remain natural at the direction of the property owner. Proximity to the beach, fishing and boating ensures ample opportunities for outdoor fun.
Bartlett Landing includes 128 units within 25 buildings, but there are no worries about sound transmission: in every one-story and two-story residence, there’s never another unit above you, and two firewalls separate each unit for both safety and soundproofing.
One of the best interior features: space. Lots and lots of it. At 1,207 square feet, the smallest unit, called the ranch model, is larger than some homes, and includes two bedrooms, two full baths, walk-in closets and a full-size laundry room. The loft model is 1,667 square feet, and as the name suggests, includes an enormous second-level loft as well as an attic. The townhouse, at 1,749 square feet, features an impressive master suite, ample living space upstairs, and a breakfast area. Each unit has an attached garage and separate entrance. All have patios; the loft and townhouse models have porches as well.
“The quality is there inside and out, and it shows,” says Jim Strom, director of marketing and leasing for Bartlett Landing. “But of course the thing that strikes people first is the sheer size and spaciousness.”
The design of these homes might aptly be described as “country contemporary,” or perhaps “seashore contemporary.” Plenty of windows let in natural light and allow residents to enjoy the natural splendor outside. Nine-foot ceilings add to the roomy feeling; some units also have cathedral ceilings.
Entertainment, history, shopping and fine dining are all close by; Tuckerton Seaport, a working maritime village, is within walking distance. Long Beach Island is just 10 minutes away, and Atlantic City is a 30-minute drive down the Parkway.
“Our location is phenomenal,” says Strom. “The town of Tuckerton is like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting—a quaint, nice little town, like America from an era gone by.”
But you don’t have to leave Bartlett Landing to have fun. The community includes a double tennis court, bocce ball and shuffleboard courts, swimming pool in season, and a grand clubhouse with community great room, which often hosts special events for residents and townspeople. Wandering the wooded trails, you can take a companion; pets are welcome for a one-time fee.
And when you’re done playing, there’s a fully equipped fitness center with private showers and saunas.
Contemporary in appeal, in a pristine natural setting and surrounded by some of the most desirable attractions in South Jersey, Bartlett Landing is ideally situated for those who love to explore, hike, fish, go antiquing—then head home, close the door and enjoy a world of privacy.

The Winter Garden
Dedicated gardeners know that winter is no excuse to slack off. Why not plant shrubs and trees that keep your yard attractive all year long?
Here are some great selections that look lovely and in some cases attract bird species: Christmas holly shrubs, red osier dogwood, plume grass, bayberry, cranberrybush viburnum, winterberry holly, birch trees, yew shrubs, Canadian hemlocks and Viking black chokeberry.
Look for plants and shrubs of some height, so they won't get covered if it snows. Invite wintering birds by hanging bird feeders among the tree branches.
