    "Local bus is pretty close. I’d take that to Toms River, (15-20mins drive) then to Port Authority in NYC. But to Commute to the City is either expensive (that’s with taking a Lyft or Uber to Toms River) or extremely long. For local commute I wouldn’t know. Haven’t been here long enough or needed to use it."

    "Close to beaches and many family events. Taxes are too high. Still nice place to live and have family. We enjoy the trails and being close to casinos and Pennsylvania. Yes please let us get to our house soon so we can have some fun. Living in pine barrens and near beaches and ocean is favorable to us. "
