About 6 miles west of the Atlantic Ocean, Ramtown is a suburban neighborhood in Monmouth County. This car-dependent community has easy access to the Garden State Parkway. Situated in the southeastern corner of Howell Township, Ramtown offers a family-friendly feel with highly rated schools, quiet streets, and nearby outdoor parks and activities.
Families can expect a traditional public school model in which students attend the school linked to their home address. There are three highly rated schools clustered within the neighborhood:
Homebuyers can find split-levels, ranch styles and New Traditionals in the neighborhood. Prices start in the low $400,000s and can reach $1.2 million. Some townhouses and condos are available between the lower $400,000s and upper $500,000s. About 96% of homes are owner-occupied. Overall, Ramtown is in high demand and homes sell quickly. “It’s close to Wall Township, but doesn’t have the price tags of Wall Township,” says William Russo, a Monmouth County native and agent at NextHome Peninsula Realty Group who sells in the neighborhood. However, the neighborhood’s cost of living is higher than the state average, with property values and household incomes above statewide averages.
Residents are drawn to Ramtown for its convenient location. “The location is 10 minutes from the beach, five minutes to the park and five minutes to the parkway,” Russo says. The Garden State Parkway extends north-south just east of Ramtown, connecting drivers to the rest of New Jersey. Park and ride systems facilitate carpooling and commuting. “There are also public transit pickups by the Parkway at exit 98,” Russo adds. Without traffic, commute time to Manhattan is between an hour and ten minutes and an hour and a half by car.
In the middle of the neighborhood, Ramtown has a small concentration of businesses, including a Wawa, a pharmacy, a café and a fitness center. Some homes are within walking distance of these businesses. 91 Farmers Market is close by for groceries. About 16 miles away, Freehold Raceway Mall is a shopping and dining destination with national chains like Apple, lululemon and P.F. Chang’s.
Ramtown is the type of neighborhood where you can learn to ride bikes on the quiet streets and walk your dog along the shaded sidewalk. There are also several outdoor activities available in the immediate area:
