About Us

The Country Place is located in Old Bridge Township and is comprised of 216 individual lot owners, recreational facilities and other common areas.  The community is governed by Old Bridge Manor Homeowners Association, Inc. (O.B.M.H.A.), an association whose voting membership is comprised of all property owners.  The affairs of the association are managed by a Board of Trustees with the assistance of committees appointed by the board.  The community is maintained by assessments on its membership and is subject to covenants, conditions and by-laws established by its members.  Electronic copies of the covenants and by-laws are available for any voting member (requests must include name and address).

There are no “new member” or "start up" fees for new homeowners.

Recreational Facilities

The recreational facilities within The Country Place are for the exclusive use and enjoyment of O.M.B.H.A. members (during daylight hours) and includes:

 REMINDER:  “CURB YOUR DOG, IT’S THE LAW". 

There has been an excessive amount of garbage (cans, bottles, food wrappers, etc) strewn around the common areas.  The tennis/basketball area and the playground area are two areas which have garbage cans, yet they seem to be the worst.  This may result in higher fees for garbage collection, which will have to be passed on to the homeowners.  We ask that you encourage your children to please throw all garbage in the cans provided.
