Pleasantville, NJ

Pleasantville is an Atlantic County city just west of Atlantic City, near Greater Egg Harbor Bay. It is more year-round and working-class than the resort towns on the barrier islands, with schools, neighborhoods, local businesses, and busy roads serving the mainland side of the shore economy. Portions of Pleasantville are part of New Jersey's Urban Enterprise Zone program, reflecting its commercial role and redevelopment needs. Rail corridors between Pleasantville and Somers Point have also been reused as bike paths, adding a practical recreation link.
