Please help with where to move

I don't post very much but I lurk all the time. Does anyone have suggestions as to good areas to move? We want to move closer to the shore. We work in Hammonton, so anywhere close to there would be nice. We've only lived in NJ for less than a year so I'm not sure about the area. TIA.

  • I live actually down the shore,  but I wouldn't suggest it.  It is dead except for the summer,  then it is crowded with out of towners. 

    Mays Landing is closer to the shore points,  while still active and right off the Expressway.   I lived there for almost two years and liked it.

  • I also live down the shore, as in you can't get much further south in Jersey, and wouldn't recommend it to others.  H and I grew up around the shore and just stayed down one summer to see how we liked it.  I must say with the exception of a few friends from our bowling league and our family that comes down year round on the weekend, we are very desolate.

    One of the big reasons we are moving back to PA.

  • Our first winter here was a huge factor in our relationship.  We learned things about each other we never knew before and spent crazy amounts of time just doing nothing together.  It made us really strong.  It is quite peaceful to walk on the beach daily with the dogs off the leash and no one else around.  We have grown to love being here all year round and things are looking hopeful for us with our own business down here.  That being said, if we close up for 2 months in the winter, I wouldn't mind packing up and heading south for those 2 months.

  • Where do you work in Hammonton?  I actually grew up in Marlton (a great place to live and raise a family) but my H is from Hammonton so we were able to build a home there on a little land (something we never could have afforded in Marlton). 

    I like Hammonton a lot..some of my friends from there have moved with there DH to Williamstown and another town close by I forget the name!!  UGH..

  • What kind of neighborhood are you looking for?  Do you want something in a community or would you rather a lot of land and no one around?  I second Mayslanding.  It is right in the middle of the shore and Hammonton.

  • I work right off of the Expressway and 12th. It's nice in Hammonton, I just don't know if we want to live here. We have been looking at Mays Landing and williamstown. We want a community.

  • Hi!  There are many nice towns down rt 206 North from rt 30 - shamong, indian mills, tabernacle, southampton, etc.  There are different types of communities in these areas, the new housing developments, older home neighborhoods, houses with land, etc.  It's a nice ride up 206 from most of these areas (from 15 - 30 minutes depending on which town) to Hammonton (no expressway needed!) and you wouldn't have much traffic at all, if any getting to work.

  • I live in Williamstown and I love it here!  I've been here for 2.5 years, but my DH grew up here.

  • One of my girlfriends lives in Tabernacle just off 206 and she's only a few minutes down the road from Hammonton.  She loves it there.
