Just wondering if anyone could recommend good towns in Monmouth County as far as public schools, culture, mass transit, traffic, affordability, crime, neighborhood-y feeling, etc. We may be relocating in a year or so from Middlesex County, and at that time I'll have a 15 year old and a three year old, plus the need to commute to a job in the New Brunswick/Piscataway area.

Thanks!
for that commute the best towns would be the ones close to route 18, depending on your budget and how far you care to drive will determine which one is best for you, most of the towns are good places to live.
Personally, I would go with Holmdel, Colts Neck or Manalapan.
It all depends on your budget. The towns I mentioned are pricey.
Good Luck!

rt 18 goes all the way down to Wall, passing through tinton falls, close to eatontown and passing through ocean, all are ok and less costly than the towns you mentioned. Like I said budget and commute time will determine the town

the town has one or 2 nice sections but for the most part it is quite run down, the downtown while enjoying a resurgence is not geared towards it's residents, it is a playground for the upper class people.
the public schools, especially the lower grades are not very good ( the ones you mentioned are all high schools) and the taxes are high, other than those issues it's not a bad town.
that said, you can do a lot better for your money in the surrounding towns like middletown, tinton falls, little silver, shrewsbury and not have all the issues that red bank has

Yeah, redbank sucks are a residential area. Most parts are very rundown except for a very nice downtown area. The area is also VERY prone to flooding. I know its very expensive, but look to see if anyone is selling in Remsen....very nice area close to Red Bank.

flooding? not in red bank! it's in the name, the banks of the river were red.
also the town is called rumson, not remsen, there are plenty of homes for sale there, it can be very expensive and the southern part of the town is prone to flooding.
