Candlewood attracts commuters who work in NYC with shopping, dining and recreation
Candlewood is one of the most sought-after areas in New Jersey's Howell Township because it blends a calm, leafy landscape with direct access to the township’s best retail amenities. The neighborhood doesn’t merge with the more rural stretches out east, like Salem Hill does next door. But it’s still close to outdoor spots like Allaire State Park, offsetting the traffic that can appear along U.S. Route 9 on the west end. “I would describe Candlewood as a mix of various residential developments,” says Louisa Sagarese, a Realtor with Re/Max Revolution. This is a commuter community of New York City, which is about 70 miles away, so entertainment venues in the immediate vicinity can be hard to come by. But as long as residents have a car, outdoor recreation is theirs to explore. “The whole Monmouth County park system is amazing,” says Allie Farinhas, a Realtor with Re/Max Innovation. Plus, the lifestyle element often does come down to where residents like to shop and eat. “You can pursue a variety of lifestyles here easily,” says Farinhas. “Are you vegan? Are you someone who likes to walk around a farmers market? You can find that in Howell.”
Howell Lanes in Candlewood is a favorite among the seniors and is busy almost every day.

Split-levels homes with large lots start around $600,000
Midcentury split-level homes pop up everywhere in Candlewood, many with tan vinyl siding on top and a red brick lower level. But just as appealing to homebuyers are the lots, which can be more than a third of an acre and decked out with mature trees and a driveway. These can start at $600,000 for four bedrooms, which isn’t far off from the neighborhood’s median price of $611,000. But with larger six-bedroom versions available, the cost can increase to $875,000 – especially after renovations, which may include a finished basement. Other bi-level styles appear here, too. Side-hall colonials will go for $850,000 to $920,000. This type of colonial home is immediately recognized by its offset front door, framed by white columns.

Indoor and outdoor options for staying active
The Windmill Club is a private recreational community that homebuyers can join. Basketball, tennis and swimming are part of the package, but nature enthusiasts also have access to a walking path and lake views. For those who want to exercise indoors, Retro Fitness is walking distance from homes on the west side. Winston Park is a public space, also on the west side, where visitors can use a basketball court, baseball field and playground. Manasquan Reservoir to the north is an ideal spot for devoted hikers, and Allaire State Park to the east has a living history museum dedicated to the former ironworks site.

Nathan’s Big City Bagels has an extensive menu of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and will also sell deli meat by the pound.

Interstate 195 appeals to commuters
While immediate access to Route 9 is convenient for traveling around Howell and running errands, it’s the intersection with Interstate 195 that bolsters Candlewood’s appeal. Commuters can use the interstate to travel the 30 miles to Trenton, or quickly make their way to the Garden State Parkway, and complete the 70-mile journey to New York City in about 90 minutes. Residents can also pick up the 139 bus on Route 9 and be dropped off at the Port Authority in Manhattan, which also takes about 90 minutes. Trenton Mercer Airport is about 40 miles away and Newark Liberty International Airport is about 55 miles away.
