So, I've been here for 8 years and Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $195,804 in East Freehold. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Let me know your thoughts. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Chicago about 2 years ago. The main reasons were weather and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Limited shopping options
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are established, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
