We are looking to move into a young open minded crowd/ OOT crowd. I know Coventry is a good fit for us but the houses are too small. Is there any other townhouse neighborhood in Lakewood (not Jackson or TR) with that kind of crowd?

Westgate is a huge mix. There are yeshivish, moder, Israeli, chassidish, sefardi, OOT. Every. Single. Type.
We are very happy there and we’ve been here a number of years already.

I know you said not Jackson but Brookwood I in Jackson, which is just out of Lakewood (my sister who lives there walks over on Shabbos, it's about a 20 minute walk to some Lakewood neighborhoods) could really work for you, based on what you describe.

It's not the fancy side of Jackson, but definitely has houses more spacious than Coventry (ranches, capes, and bi-levels). And the crowd is young, frum, more OOT - and very friendly and warm.

Yes to Raintree, tons of OOTers, but it’s not townhouses (which is a big plus in my book)

Thanks. I actually saw a house for rent there. I’ll look into it.

Lakeview is similar sized to Coventry but they have (non rentable) basements. Nice crowd!

Look into Wyndham 2 (idk anything about orginal Wyndham but maybe someone here does)
And look into ocean place/ ocean point. Which is the one with the smaller townhouses?

Looking forward to welcoming you! I am an open minded, out of town person, who has lived in westgate for 8 years🙂. Hope you're happy with your choice! And see you in the park on Shabbos!

Morah nechama finer on pressburg does older 2's, but I imagine she's been full this year.
Morah rivky schuster does older 3's. Peshy Hirsh does younger threes, and chavi schneider does 3 yr olds as well. Good luck!
