Why I chose Somers Point over bigger cities

Allison Watson Jul 5, 2025

I've lived in West for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Active local events and festivals
- The pet-friendliness scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is weather. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.
