Loving Life in the Garden State! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Living in Bridgeton, New Jersey puts me far away from tourists hitting the Jersey Shore but close enough to anything you could ever want in paradise. I can be at the best beaches in Cape May or Wildwood in a half hour, or hit the Garden State Parkway and visit iconic Atlantic Cit ...Read More y to see the sites, eat, or play on the beach.

The best areas in Bridgeton, NJ include the Cohanzick Zoo, the Cape May Zoo, and Parvin State Park. Our neighborhood is quiet, we have friendly neighbors, and everything you need in town is minutes away.

I can get to Philadelphia in less half an hour, and hit all the best beaches up the Jersey Shore to Seaside and Point Pleasant by jumping on the Garden State Parkway. We have discount malls nearby, flea markets on the weekend, and can hit the upscale shops in Atlantic City if I feel like spoiling myself. The quiet Atlantic City Airport is only a few miles east of here. Read Less
