The Fourth of July at Green Pond
Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | July 2026 There are Fourth of July celebrations all over New Jersey. Fireworks over municipal parks, parades down Main Streets, festivals with admission wristbands and portable restrooms and food trucks from three towns away. They are fine. They do the job. And then there is the Fourth of July at Green Pond. What happens here on the Fourth is something that most Americans have stopped believing still exists — a genuine, unhurried, community-made celebration that belongs entirely to the people who live here. No sponsors. No crowds from outside. Just the…

Friday Farmers Market at Green Pond
The Green Pond Friday Farmers Market: Summer’s Best Weekly Ritual Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | June 2026 Every community has a weekly moment it looks forward to — the kind that doesn’t require a special occasion or a reason to get dressed up, just a place to show up and find your neighbors already there.

Every Friday from 3:00 to 6:30 PM, the Green Pond Community House becomes the center of community life. There is fresh food, there…

The Green Pond Yacht Club: Where the Community Comes Together
Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | June 2026 Every community has a center of gravity — a place where the informal life of the community actually happens, where the friendships form and the memories get made. At Green Pond, that place is the Yacht Club. The Green Pond Yacht Club is an optional private membership available exclusively to Green Pond residents. It sits at the water’s edge, open year-round, and for the families who belong to it, it is as much a part of summer life here as the lake itself. What the Yacht Club Is The…

Another Summer of Sailing: The Green Pond Yacht Club Junior Program
Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | June 2026 Every summer at Green Pond, something happens on the lake that has been happening for generations — and if you know to look for it, it tells you everything about what kind of community this is. In the early morning, before the motor boats are out and while the water is still flat, most summer mornings, a fleet of small Sunfish sailboats appears on the northern end of the lake at the Green Pond Yacht Club. The sailors are children — some as young as seven or eight, some…

Love-All: Tennis and Pickleball at Green Pond, NJ
Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | June 2026 If you’ve spent time at Green Pond, you know the lake is the heart of the community. But ask any longtime resident what keeps them here through the shoulder seasons — what pulls them out of the house on a crisp September morning or a warm October afternoon — and a surprising number of them will point not toward the water, but toward the courts. Green Pond has one of the most active tennis and pickleball communities of any private lake community in New Jersey. And if you haven’t…

The Docks Are In — Summer at Green Pond Is Officially Here
Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | May 2026 There is a moment every spring at Green Pond that signals, more than any calendar date, that summer is about to arrive. It’s not Memorial Day weekend. It’s not the first warm Saturday. It’s the week the docks start to go in. If you’ve never seen it, picture this: the Green Pond Corporation starts hauling and installing the community docks, families arriving at their properties after a winter away, start pulling dock sections out of their garages, wading into water that is still cold enough to make you catch…

What Green Pond Looks Like in January
Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | January 2026 Most people who have not been to Green Pond in winter assume it goes quiet — that the community closes up in September and doesn’t reopen until Memorial Day. This is one of the most persistent misconceptions about life here, and January is the month that corrects it most dramatically. When the temperature drops and holds for several days, the lake freezes. Not everywhere at once — the spring-fed portions stay open longer, and the shallower areas freeze first. But when a full freeze comes, the lake becomes something…

What Green Pond Looks Like in October
Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | October 2025 People who discover Green Pond in summer sometimes assume it’s a seasonal place — a lake that peaks in July and goes quiet by September. Those people have not seen Green Pond in October. The mountain ridge that ring the west shore of the lake rise 150 to 200 feet above the water. In summer, they are a wall of deep green that frames the lake and keeps it private and shaded. In October, they become something else entirely. The maples turn first — orange and red in the…

The Best-Kept Secret in New Jersey Real Estate
Around the Pond | Green Pond Real Estate™ | June 2026 We have been selling real estate at Green Pond since 1981. In that time, we have watched buyers discover this community for the first time — and we have watched the same thing happen, reliably, every single time. They arrive expecting a nice lake. They leave understanding that they have found something they didn’t know they were looking for…. a pristine lake AND a community. Green Pond is not easy to stumble across. It doesn’t appear on the tourist maps. There are no advertising signs on Route 23 or…
