Toms River is underrated, change my mind

Average temperature is around 57--F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $95,759, which feels pretty solid for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,678 for rent here. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to.

Came here for cost of living and stayed because I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The walkability is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
