    "It’s family friendly and safe. It’s a very secluded area but yet so close to so many major stores. Definitely a plus being two miles away from the most beautiful beaches here in NJ. I feel that owning property in this area is a long term investment and will provide for many fond memories for generations to come. "

    "Spring Lake Heights is the town just over the railroad tracks, about 4 blocks in from the Atlantic Ocean in Spring Lake, NJ. Prices drop precipitously from very expensive Spring Lake to very community-oriented, convenient, desirable Spring Lake Heights. The two towns even share a zip code and Spring Lake Golf Club and the infamous Hoffman's Ice Cream are actually in Spring Lake Heights! Excellent, highly rated elementary school. NY commuters live here as well as a growing number of folks who have discovered what a wonderful place this is to have a second home getaway. As our financial planner told us: "Some people need the swagger of a certain address. You guys didn't care if it was Spring Lake or Spring Lake Heights and look at the memories you have made there and the money you saved to spend on so many other fun things in life, by buying 4 blocks farther West, but still a bike ride to the ocean." "
