Management Prepared Early to Ensure All Safety and Service Issues Would Be Addressed
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. – As Hurricane Irene approached from the south last month, homeowners at The Pointe at Turnbury in Monmouth Junction, NJ, were universally glad that they lived in a community where all safety preparations were taken care of for them. When the storm was gone, the residents of the 55-and-better community were relieved that they didn’t have to deal with property damage or any of the hassles that come with traditional home ownership.
That’s just one of the perks of owning a townhome at The Pointe at Turnbury, but residents say it is an important one when you consider what is at stake. They were able to sit through the hurricane with peace of mind while millions of New Jersey homeowners experienced the anxiety of not knowing what was going to happen to their homes and possessions.
“We had a lot of residents thank us for how we handled the storm. We were very well-prepared,” said Lisa Macchi, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Millennium Homes, the developer of The Pointe at Turnbury. “Our staff not only secured the grounds, but they helped residents remove outdoor furniture and make other preparations for the hurricane. We make action plans for emergencies such as this one well in advance, so our day-of preparations run smoothly and we’re able to help all of our residents who need it.”
The hurricane preparations mirror The Pointe at Turnbury’s preparations for winter storms and other emergency situations. The community’s management plans ahead and emphasizes resident safety and service. In the winter, streets are salted and plowed early so residents can get to work. Residents can watch from the comfort of their own living rooms and bedrooms as The Pointe at Turnbury staff members deal with the storm.
The result from all of the preparation was that residents of The Pointe at Turnbury were safe throughout the storm and experienced very few inconveniences. Residents always had somebody on call who they could contact and the community’s clubhouse was open for business shortly after the storm.
“We’ve always had a lot of interest from buyers who are tired of maintaining a large, single-family home and are looking for something that still has a lot of living space,” Ms. Macchi said. “The hurricane reinforced that for a lot of people. We take great pride in offering our active-adult residents the types of spacious, low-maintenance homes that they are looking for, in a location that is perfect for both working and non-working residents.”
