Getting around is simple thanks to Route 36, which runs right along the southern edge of the neighborhood. Commuters can easily reach the Belford ferry terminal for a direct boat ride into Manhattan, or hop on nearby trains and the Garden State Parkway. Outdoor recreation is right down the street at Bayshore Waterfront Park, home to calm beaches, scenic walking paths, and a historic fishing pier. Plus, being part of Middletown means families have access to a well-regarded public school district alongside plenty of surrounding township parks and everyday conveniences.
