I've seen it advertised a lot as a Jewish community to move to and wanted to know if anyone on here lives there and can tell me anything about it. Size of community, schools & what tuition is like, areas/streets that are Jewish, or any other relevant info.

We are so happy here.
The community is probably about 200 hundred families or so.
People are very warm, inclusive, out-of-town feel, no "keeping up with the jones" pressures. Women throughout the community get together for shalosh seudos.

A recent influx of a lot of young families.
For elementary school, most families send to Politz Hebrew Academy which is the dayschool right in the community, but many families do send to Caskey Torah Academy or Yeshiva Lab School is also an option, as is Politz Hebrew Academy of Cherry Hill. For High school their are also great options here. Free busing to the schools.

Tuition is great here, as the State gives money to the schools, like a voucher type thing.

Housing is very affordable, many people live in twin homes which are probably like 1800 square feet, but their are definitely pretty, single homes available which are larger, and people have been buying them lately. New construction is going up recently.

Just recently, a new kosher supermarket opened "House of Kosher," has everything you need, like a Lakewood/Brooklyn store. A Lakewood supermarket also delivers here weekly.

Easy drive to Lakewood or NY
