Stonebridge Town Center hosts community events throughout the year

Less than 3 miles north, Stonebridge Town Center hosts events for the Woodbridge and Montclair areas. According to Cindy Cajas, a realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc., the shopping center has quarterly events that bring the River Oaks community together. Locals put their cooking skills to the test during the summer chili cook-off and enjoy wintertime festivities such as a Christmas tree lighting and ice-skating rink. “They cater a lot to everyone in the community,” Cajas says.
