Fords, New Jersey: A Growing Town with Small Town Charm 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I have lived here in Fords, New Jersey for more than 10 years. This area continues to grow, but the best parts continue to remain. It still has the charm and feel of a small town, but is beginning to be able to offer the conveniences that larger cities offer.

Living in Fords, ...Read More New Jersey has afforded me a great place to raise my family. I live in a nice home and there are plenty of homes available here to buy. From older homes that have charm to newer built homes, you can find it here.

The best areas in Fords, New Jersey is probably the local Garden Market that is found in the center of town. Here you can find amazing, fresh organic food to cook a dinner with. Invite your neighbors over as everyone seems to know everyone here.

The downside of this area is that the cost of living is high. There are great schools though. The local recreation department also maintains beautiful parks in this area for you and your family to enjoy. Read Less
