Welcoming New Gentry Members

New homeowners: Welcome to The Gentry at Princeton Meadows Homeowners Association! The Association is governed by a 7-member Board of Directors, composed of your neighbors and (hopefully) future friends. The Association operates and maintains the pools, clubhouse, tot lots and many acres of common property throughout the community. In addition, the Association, primarily through its Covenants Committee, is charged with maintaining the aesthetics of the community, so please be sure to submit an application to the Covenants Committee before making any exterior changes or additions to your property. The trash removal services are provided by the Association, while the recycling is provided by Middlesex County. The community is managed by Piazza & Associates, Inc., which oversees the day-to-day operation of the Association. Assessments of $215 per home are collected quarterly and fund the services and work of the Association. The clubhouse (which is temporarily closed due to the pandemic) can be used for a small cleaning charge. Finally, you can access the association documents, make your quarterly payment, find the Covenants form and more on the homeowner online portal. Click here to access the portal.
