The good and bad of living in Keansburg

Hey, I work in manufacturing and It's a a small town city with about 9,729 people. Homes are going for about $274,500 on average. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Worth the trade-offs? Thanks!

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Atlanta about 13 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are developing, gas is tough.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
