Yup, the yuppies have completely taken over. It's awful. You know the type where the children are screaming and running the show and telling the parents what to do. Between that and all of the frat boys. I feel sorry for the locals - they've ruined a great little town. I just hope they own their homes at least their home values have skyrocketed.

I'll add Elmwood Park!!! Moved here from Cedar Grove in October...Getting out of my lease 7/1/08!!! It's sad that whether your going to Walgreen's at 11:30 AM or PM... you have 2 Police cars in the lot @ all times!!!!! & NO!! There is no Dunking Donuts!!

Don't you think this is a good thing? They are watching the area. Don't certain roads in Cedar Grove have parked police cars as well (to watch for cars that drive into the area after late hours )?

Yes there is, however @ 11:30 AM they're not!!! Let me put it to you this way, when I am picking up my Rx and they're slinging crack in isle 5 then yea i see their purpose and yes, I know the problem.. May I ask if you've been blessed with living next to a toxic wasteland?? that's what Lodi is.. I'm sure some of the toxins rolled on into this "Pristine" towns land ..... Listen this town isn't even close to being paradise!!!! Cedar Groves PD has too many cops and too much time on there hands.... I lived in Manhattan, I know all about crime.. I also am capable of realizing a crappy town, where no one cares about there property, environment, or themselves for that matter... And just to better inform you, yes I do have friends that are on this towns police force, whom agree with this being a hell hole and do not & will never live in this dirty, dingy rat infested town!!!!
Good Day!!!

Bridgewater is New Jersey's most dangerous town. Lots of homelessness, drugs, mental illness, shootings, lootings etc.

I Would Also Choose Asbury Park As My Like #3 Worst Area..
Its Like Drug And Crime Central...
Along With The Ghettoooo People,
Like I Was Driving.. And Some People Were Like Staring At Me, And I Got So Scared I Locked All The Doors And Fixed The Mirrors! Lol.
But They Are Doing Work And Trying To Make Asbury Into What It Used To Be.
