A car-centric suburb in southern Howell Township
Located in southern Howell Township, the suburb of Southard puts residents in touch with a comprehensive array of amenities. There are numerous retail options right at hand, but this modern lifestyle sits in contrast with rural elements. The Southard Grange, next to big-box stores on U.S. Route 9, is a century-old schoolhouse used for hosting plays and community events, like dinners made with locally grown food. “It’s a mix of developments, but in the general surroundings you can find farms,” says Louisa Sagarese, a sales associate with Re/Max Revolution. Other Realtors describe how these lifestyles blend in the region. “Colts Neck is very equestrian, as the name suggests,” says Allie Farinhas, a Realtor with Re/Max Innovation, speaking of a neighborhood about 10 miles north. “But we have retail everywhere, so people are used to driving.” Here in Southard, even though one is more likely to ride by car instead of horseback, that doesn’t prevent people from getting fresh air. Outdoor amenities, like the nearby Manasquan Reservoir, are frequently used.

Split-level homes a popular sight in Southard
An abundance of split-level homes gives the neighborhood a classic suburban look. These homes may have pastel facades that speak to their 1970s and '80s construction, but some have been renovated with a cooler palette. Either way, the two-tone effect is present, with a brick lower level and a vinyl-sided upper level. Prices range from $650,000 to $730,000. These are quiet streets with simple names like Driftwood Drive and Cherry Wood Circle. Houses are placed back on the yard, framed by mature trees. “In the residential areas, there are usually plenty of sidewalks for walking or biking around,” says Farinhas. “Parents like that.” There’s always the option to go smaller or larger than a split-level home, too. In the $730,000 to $1.3 million range are expansive colonials or custom homes. Or, on the other hand, modest ranch-style homes are available in the $440,000 to $550,000 range. The median price for a home in Southard is $610,000.
Areas of Southard feature custom built homes on large lots.

The perimeter trail at Manasquan Reservoir is a popular destination
“Manasquan Reservoir is great, I trained for a half marathon there,” says Farinhas. This nearly 800-acre body of water about 3 miles north of Southard is a popular destination. Over a million visitors per year experience the trails, including the 5-mile perimeter path around the reservoir. There are also boat launches, for those who prefer fishing. There are other ways to get out on the water. Echo Lake Park is just east of Route 9 in Southard. It’s ideal for passive recreation, but a playground is available for scrambling on. Just steps away is Lake Louise for more fishing opportunities.
Manasquan Reservoir Park is 1,200 acre park located at the southern edge of Freehold.
Echo Lake Park provides nature lovers a place of respite in Southard.

A few small businesses mixed in with big-box stores
Route 9 is the place to go when running errands or when in search of a place to eat. “Target, Zaxby’s, Walmart, Costco, Sam’s, they’re all practically at every corner,” says Farinhas. Additional grocers include Aldi and Shop Rite. But it’s possible to find smaller, locally owned options beyond these big-box names. Ottimo Café is an Italian restaurant with white tablecloths and classic menu items like pizza, seafood entrees and pasta. Kava Coffee House across the street serves breakfast, lunch and assorted treats in a moody setting with plenty of exposed brick and stone.
Caffine Haven in Salem Hill is located convineintly on Route 9.

State Route 9 is the neighborhood backbone
As much as Route 9 is important for retail, it’s also the key path for commuters, as it leads directly to Interstate 195. Everything else in Southard is a residential street or a moderately larger thoroughfare that these streets feed into, like Lanes Mill Road. There are buses that run on Route 9, but many will take the 139 to the Port Authority in Manhattan. “We are a corridor, and people will commute to New York City,” says Farinhas. It’s about a 90-minute drive to cover the 70-mile trek.
