moving to Keansburg (Union, Long Branch, Old Bridge: for sale, real estate, high crime)

Good luck, Dion in your town, and it is good that your happy.

I definitely wouldn't want to live there. It is run-down, unattractive (especially for a town on the water), there are many problems, and even the boardwalk which I've enjoyed since childhood has been having issues.

As of August 5, 2007, there are several houses in Middletown and Union Beach selling for under $160g. Hazlet known as trailer city in the bayshore has trailer homes as cheap as 25g and homes selling under 175g. The highlands also has trailer homes under 50g. Aberdeen and Old Bridge have many homes under 199g. Plenty of cheap houses in Middletown for under 200g. I suggest looking in Keansburg, more value for the same money. Plus you will not find cheap trailer park homes in Keansburg. I find Keansburg to be a very safe town.

Please make sure the first aid squad is on hand, some of the older people might have trouble breathing or could die from laughing so hard (maybe the guy who owns the amusement and water parks won't, he lives in AH)

Also I have pasted before, luxury condo's are being built on both sides of the Keansburg Amusement Park starting near 500g and on top of that its a very safe old beach town thats changing for the better!

It's less expensive for a reason and if you have never been there you should go and spend some time there. You would be very centrally located and close to the beach and the city. I'm not familiar with the school system but I'm sure there are web sites making comparisons. Monmouth Beach is much nicer but much more expensive. Long Branch is a mix of both. Good luck.

They are all great towns in there own way. I suggest not moving to Asbury Park or Long Branch, a lot of crime there.

Dion, you have different quotes but the same exact response for the past five or six posts.

First, you say the local people on this board speak doom and gloom. But we're the ones that actually know the truth, so we're just trying to help people make a decision about our area. Keansburg is the armpit and there is no way around it. You just seem to have different standards of living.

Also, Hazlet is not known as a trailer city. In thirty years, I have never heard anyone refer to it as such. Yes it has trailer homes, very specific areas, and they have never been an issue in school or in town.

Put down the other towns around you all you want, it would actually be funny how you put down even towns such as Marlboro and Middletown. But it stops being funny when people are trying to make decisions based on your false information.

I pass through all these areas every day, Keansburg is a dump still. It does have some fixed up spots with some new buildings, but it's far behind the rest of the area.

Keansburg Beach is depressed, gloomy, and I can't imagine anyone describing it as nice. And I would never recommend anyone swimming it that bay.

Disagree all you want, Dion. But something is not right about your posts.

I just talked to local cops, a few local teachers, and a few local business owners about this topic, and all agreed that Keansburg is last on the towns to live in. While a few things have improved, the rest is definitely on the decline.

Keansburg does not have a good high school. I wouldn't move to this town. It is run-down and trashy through the majority of it, with spots of newer houses. Unless they knock down the other 90% of the town, I wouldn't live there.

Try Middletown or Hazlet for a better education and a much nicer town.

Summer, I also would like people to know that Keansburg is no where near what you describe it as! I find it absurd that people who don't even live in this town think they know what the town is like! Totally crazy false information your giving about Keansburg.

My standard of living is higher because I chose to live in Keansburg over the other bayshore towns. I have a lot of people who would support me on that claim. Talk to people who live in Keansburg, talk to business owners and local cops in Keansburg they would all tell you this town is moving up. In fact I had someone in Hazlet recently tell me Keansburg used to be the worse bayshore town and now he says it is the best bayshore town.

Hazlet looks like trailer city to us in Keansburg, just not very aesthetically pleasing and quite trashy to the eye along route 36. The new younger generation buying homes sees Hazlet and associates it with looking cheap. Upper class people are now choosing the better quality of life in Keansburg along with other bayshore towns as well. After 17 months of living here, its very safe, and its visual image is continually getting better. For you to put Keansburg down compared to the other bayshore towns is ludicrous!

You don't read what I write! Again a business owner in Keansburg who has a deli also owns one in Marlboro. When I asked him if he considers this town safe. He said he never had any problems in this town and he has been here for 12 years. He said his Marlboro store, kids have tried to steal. Again facts a fact. I ask why do you try to spread horrible rumors that put Keansburg down? At the time of my shopping, I found more value in the "same price" for the same house that I got in Keanbsburg compared to other bayshore towns. I got a wide street, more property, lower taxes and the nicest beach and boardwalk on the bayshore. Thats not to say you can't find value in other bayshore towns!

Other bayshore towns also have there shoddy appearances as well. Union Beach looks like a ghost town on route 36 with everything boarded up. Every bayshore town has there bright spots as well... but if your focused on looking for the bad things you can find it any bayshore town.

Everyone in Keansburg would laugh in your face to try to tell them that other bayshore towns are better than Keansburg! Some parts of other bayshore towns look more depressed and gloomy than the worse parts of Keansburg. Funny the beach was very crowded today in Keansburg, sad that you can't realize that more visitors come to Keansburg than any other bayshore town.

I would love to know what local cops, teachers and business owners you talked too? <laughing> obviously they werent from Keansburg! Most people would choose Keansburg over the other bayshore towns as a great place to raise a family in a safe town! If I didnt live in Keansburg it would have been another bayshore town, I love all the bayshore towns!

Dion, I'm starting to wonder if you're a troll. The information you are giving is false and inaccurate.

If you read my posts, you'd see I do know Keansburg (unfortunately). And to anyone that lives in this area, they know that you sound ridiculous.



You dug up some of these threads from a long time ago. You are going through all different threads pulling up quotes from numerous local people for whatever reason to do battle. You have issues. Or your smoking a lot.

As far as laughing, it's all at you.


From now on I'm ignoring your posts.

Summer, I am with you. He knows of houses in Middletown for $160k, Hazlet is "trailer city". That did it for me. I am totally ignoring this guy, as well. Attention starved isn't the word. I know you know Keansurg as well as I do, I have read your posts. There is something really disturbing about him. Who spews such falsehoods and for what legitimate reason?

Summer, I live in Keansburg and you do not! You do not know this friendly town. Your perception is not reality. Anyone currently living or doing business in Keansburg would consider you the riff raff of the bayshore. Everyone I know here feels good that this town is moving up and its all good for all of us in the bayshore. It's a very safe town, you can walk the streets at nite and theres a lot of great qualities including the beach, amusement park, fireworks, live music, festivals and so on. There is a good spirit in this town. I don't know anyone that would prefer to move out of Keansburg to live in a different bayshore town instead. I think all the bayshore towns are great in there own way! Perhaps your so old that you just cling to old thoughts, stigmas and rumors that once was Keansburg. Those days are gone, whats passed is passed, time to move on and realize that Keansburg is just as great as any of the other bayshore towns! Yes its an old beach town, and the young generation like myself sees how great the quality of life is in the bayshore towns and that includes Keansburg! Higher class professionals, young college educated people looking to start families like myself are moving into Keansburg and I'm glad its not low class people like you!
