General low crime rate, beautiful landscape, great shopping 5 rating By Mall ( Aug 13, 2015) If you are person with family values, you fit in just right in Lakewood, NJ! A growing town, with good business opportunity, Lakewood is home to a multi-cultural community, but primarily to the Jewish Orthodox.

Many view traffic congestion as a major concern here. With courtesy busing for private schools now on the forefront, that problem is highlighted. Nevertheless, Lakewood's past has taught the public that this issue, as others will be resolved eventually.

Although the media likes to paint the differences between the various sectors of the community in bold, there is an underlying respect that all have for each other. On a scale of one to ten, I'd place Lakewood as a 9+. Experience Lakewood and see for yourself! Read Less

The Beach Community of Lakewood, NJ 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 17, 2015) I lived in Lakewood, New Jersey for ten years in my teens to my early twenties, and it was a wonderful place to live.

Situated with easy access to the Garden State Parkway as well as Routes 35 and 9, Lakewood provides easy access to the rest of the state.

Lakewood is a tight-knit community with all the sights and sounds of a beach community. Equally distant between the boardwalks of Point Pleasant and Sandy Hook, nightlife is less than ten minutes away. Also down the road is the famous and historical city of Asbury Park, where countless famous musicians began their careers, and many more continue to do so to this day. Eateries in the Lakewood area are diverse and unmatched--between the famous New Jersey diners and the local Jewish and Italian cuisines of the area, there is certainly something for everyone in Lakewood.

Although the city of Lakewood itself is generally rather quiet, the summer can bring many tourists to the surrounding areas--resulting in even more congestion than is typical for New Jersey. However, this tourism also has the benefit of creating a thriving economy for Lakewood and the surrounding areas. As with any densely populated area there are some undesirable urbanized communities in the surrounding areas. The benefits of living in Lakewood is its sense of community, where neighbors constantly watch out for each other and emergency services are never more than a stones throw away. Moderately priced for New Jersey, Lakewood is a wonderful place to live and grow up. Read Less
