The Community
Unlike many age-restricted communities, Shady Pines is not a retirement community — it offers an active lifestyle for residents who want to stay engaged. With a full calendar of events including bingo nights, craft days, Christmas in July celebrations, and seasonal parties, there's always something happening.
The community features a swimming pool, dog park, playground, tiki bar patio, community laundry facility, and well-maintained common areas. Located just two homes from the entrance and management office, this unit enjoys convenient access to all community amenities.
Monthly lot rent of $950 covers water, sewer, trash collection, and property taxes — a package that makes Shady Pines one of the most affordable 55+ options in Atlantic County.
