Fairview

"I’ve lived here for 26 years and raised 3 children in this neighborhood. It is very family friendly with schools and parks within walking distance. "

"Red Bank has something for everyone. You have proximity to the beaches and easy access to either public transportation or major highways for commuting. You can get to NYC easily for work or night life, and Red Bank has a neat local night life and shopping access of its own. It's changed a lot in the 30 years I've known it, and it reminds me now of an NJ New Hope in many ways. The education and cultural level is high for what is essentially a small town atmosphere. Red Bank does its own New Years Eve "First Night" festival which is a superb alternative to the usual ruckus of typical New Year's Eve doings. If you're a seafood lover, the restaurants are stellar, but of course you expect this in a shore town. Our only caveats are to be aware of flood potential, though the house we had avoided flooding in the worst storms, including the recent debacle of hurricane Sandy. Check flood mapping and insurance history carefully for any particular property you are interested in. Our other caveat is, although we marked this area as good for retirees, you would probably have to be an active senior to get the best out of living here. Thanks for reading."
