A large loop trail around Manasquan Reservoir
Manasquan Reservoir is known for attracting over a million visitors per year. Hikers and bikers can snake through several trails, but the most popular one is a 5-mile circuit around the water. Boat launches ensure those who fish can enjoy the space as well. On the northeastern tip is Diamond Lane Park, which is all about simplicity. A small field sits next to a playground that looks onto suburban Diamond Lane. Or, as an alternative, residents can find a bit more open space at Winston Park on the west side. There’s a basketball court, playground and ball field.

Walkable residential streets named for flowers and trees
Route 9 and Interstate 195 meet at the northwest end, creating a convenient interchange for those who live here. It takes about 90 minutes to make the 70-mile drive into New York City. Commuters can also pick up the 139 Bus on Route 9 and get dropped off at the Port Authority in Manhattan. For the most part, though, this is a car-dependent neighborhood. However, the gently curving residential streets are pedestrian friendly. They’re named after trees and flowers, like Pine Road, Spruce Road, Violet Circle and Azalea Lane. Trenton Mercer Airport is about 40 miles away and Newark Liberty International Airport is about 50 miles away.American classics at Stewart's Root Beer
Fast-food joints and large retailers pop up along Route 9, but that adds a convenience factor to the neighborhood. Walgreens at Aldrich Plaza is within walking distance of homes on the south side. Groceries can be picked up at the Shop Rite. There are plenty of small businesses throughout this portion of Route 9, too. Poke Burritos in Howell Plaza Shopping Center offers a colorful setting where people can get seafood sandwich wraps. Stewart’s Root Beer is a bright orange diner that serves American classics like chili dogs and, yes, root beer in a large frosty mug. The Caffeine Haven is a bright, hip coffee shop with specialty drinks.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
