    "My town is bicycle friendly but to get to a lot of fun & interesting places you need a car. Villas is a family oriented place,originally a sleepy fisherman community. Very close to many tourist attractions and restaurants and beaches."

    "The bay ,, there are a lot of restaurants in the villas, ponderlodge is in the villas, it’s owned by the state and there’s loads of nature trails and ponds back there, it’s safe, no one bothers you,, it would be nice if they would put a few benches along the wAy, everyone removes their own trash, it’s a very clean place and lots and lots and lots of acres of wildlife."

    "Driving is easy and the roads are narrow so neighbors patiently wait to drive by if a car is heading the opposite way. Easy to commute to work. Walking my dog is fun, although there aren’t sidewalks so it can be tricky to find places for him to walk safely out of the way. A great neighborhood. "

    "I have not only owned a home and lived in Villas, NJ since 2011, I work here as a realtor. Lower Township has done a good job of keeping taxes down and services high. But the best part is the beach along the bay and our spectacular sunsets!"

    "It is close to the bay and beaches. The homes are in need of remodeling and some upkeep. As the neighborhood turns over many new owners are brining their homes to a new standard. "

    "the area is a good place to live for single people, a summer house or retired people.. It's a seasonal town, so the jobs disappear in the winter time. The schools are not good. The locals are somewhat rude and distant. In the summer there's tons of activity, the bay is very close and the beaches are a short drive and great fishing and crabbing.. The housing is cheaper then in the resort towns along the ocean.. The sunsets are beautiful over the bay almost every evening. "
