Kinsley living

Toms River is underrated, change my mind

Anyone else feel this way? Been living here since 2013. Median household income is $95,759, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $377,800, which seems about average. Rent is about $1,678/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. Thanks in advance! There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in North. It's underrated for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in engineering. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Thai.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want healthcare, then yeah this place is great. But if walkability matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
