Kinnelon - Smoke Rise Community (home search, gated community, place to live)

[amp071906]

I am beginning my home search, and was interested in the Smoke Rise community in Kinnelon. If anyone has any experiences with this community, I would greatly appreciate your opinions. What is the community like? Are people friendly? Are the dues costly?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I have a friend who has lived there for years and likes it a lot. Community seems tight-knit and friendly with many activities within the community. Don't know about the dues.

I looked at some homes there, I believe its 5k to join, $2500 a year afterwards.

I live in smoke rise. It is a wonderful place to live. The lake is wonderful. Many activities for kids and adults. The people are very down to earth. A good mix of people from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The dues are 2.5 k yearly and 5 k initiation fee. Having full time security and completely gated community is well worth the dues. Can not say enough positive things about it.
