I currently reside in Chestnut Ridge near Monsey. We are what people would call "heimish". Not really Chasidish and not yeshivish. DH wears a Shtreimel but really he shouldn't be. I went to a BY school. Have kids in Bais Dovid and Degel Hatorah.
We are considering relocating because of a job. My DH is having a very difficult time finding a new job here. He is currently working but is really not happy. Most recruiters have job offers in the Lakewood Area of New Jersey.
I don't love Monsey as it is becoming more like Williamsburg where and we just don't go for that or fit in.
I'm looking for a mixed neighborhood of ALL kinds. How do you think Toms River NJ fits that bill? I don't want to live in a super yeshivish area either. I'm seeking an area where the menfolk work etc. I would be able to purchase a home there in the $500k range. Please advise if I should stay put or not?
Please list all the pros and cons. Thanks

There are areas where you'll fit in nicely with the streimel and BY type school combination.

How about the Melissa Lee/ Westlake area in Jackson NJ? I think there are people like your type there.

I'm just curious. I beleive this is the second thread about Tom's River. Is it safe to live there? After the AMI aritcle on the area, I understood there's still a danger to living there. I'm asking just out of genuineness. I really just want to know.

Dangerous? Why? Anti semitism? Where I live in Chestnut Ridge NY we experience the same. Or are you referring to other dangers?

Yes, but I thought it still said that many things are contaminated, and there still needs to be less denial.
I thought it wasn't 100 percent cleared up, but ok.
Also, IMHO, if something that messed up happened once, I wouldn't trust the city that something like this couldn't happen again.

The area around old freehold sounds like what you are looking for. A lot of young chasiddish working. A very nice mix of families that are part of the shul there.
