    "West Cape May has come along way baby! New houses are being constructed and existing homes are being renovated because West Cape May’s real estate market is on fire. Walking distance to hiking trails through the Bird Refuge and Natural Preserve with beautiful views of the historic Lighthouse. Ride your bike to town, beach, winery and fabulous restaurants and bars. I think it’s the quiet side of town. We have a home there and we love it."
