Holiday Village Real Estate — Vol. 1
Holiday Village, Mount Laurel NJ: Two Communities, No Sales Pitch
Holiday Village and Holiday Village East are separate 55+ active-adult communities in Mount Laurel, NJ — built by the same builder, run by two different homeowners associations, and often confused for one another. This is an independent, editorial look at both: what they are, what they cost, and how they differ.

Two Communities at a Glance
Same builder, same corner of Mount Laurel, but HV and HVE are explicitly separate communities — each with its own homeowners association and its own clubhouse. Newcomers to the area often assume they're one big neighborhood; the ledger below is where that assumption gets sorted out.

Market Snapshot
Over the trailing 12 months, Holiday Village's median sale price sits at about $384,000 — up 10% year-over-year — with homes moving in roughly 28 days on market, well ahead of the 50-day national average. That's a brisk pace for a 55+ resale market, and it says something about steady demand for HVNJ's low-maintenance lifestyle.
Holiday Village East is harder to pin to a single number: a local brokerage estimates a range of roughly $200,000–$380,000 across the community's mix of single-family homes, patio homes, and condos. One recent example — a 2-bedroom, 2-bath home at 1,483 square feet — was listed at $399,000, giving a sense of where updated, larger units can land.
Older published figures still circulate online and read as far lower than today's market. A 2015 snapshot from the community's own site cited average sale prices of $163,900 in HV and $189,000 in HVE, and a 2012–2014 three-year average put the figures near $150,862 (HV) and $198,400 (HVE). Those numbers are historical only — treat anything from that era as a snapshot of the past, not a current asking price.
