Ocean Acres, New Jersey: Opportunities to Enjoy All the Seasons 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) My hometown of Ocean Acres, New Jersey is a great little place to live. Living in Ocean Acres, New Jersey provides lots to do in the summer time. You can easily be at the beach with in 15 minutes and enjoy a day in the sun.

I am currently paying over $1500.00 monthly to rent my current home. There are awesome parks here for your children to enjoy. The parks are large and have large playgrounds and paths.

While there are lots of things to do in the summer, the best areas in Ocean Acres, NJ might be the sledding areas that your children can find when it snows here. This area does see all sorts of weather. In the summer, it is hot, giving tons of opportunities for beach days and in the winter, you get to enjoy the snow. Read Less
