Be careful about sections of Leonardo (and other areas as well) requiring flood insurance (which your realtor may not tell you). I passed up a lot of houses for that reason. And you certainly can find houses in Lincroft for that price.

I have a customer in that area and she said its very nice.
Oak Hill is great, but I think in a Higher price range.

I was looking at a home on Truex Place, what section of town is that? Mostly older homes I believe near 35.

I have recently relocated to the Middletown area (Oak Hill area) and love it. There seem to people from many different income levels and I have not personally experienced any snobbery. People here seem pretty down to earth. The families I've met through the school system have really been a nice crowd.

I do not know much about the surrounding areas, but the River Plaza area also seems to fit your criteria and I have met several people who are very happy with the schools and neighbors.

There's a new development *ON* Rt 35 (north bound) called "The Village At Chappel Hills". It's very close to Oak Hill, Navesink River and Red Bank. It's next to Whole Foods and is a great location overall.

You can easily get a townhome there for the price you mentioned. Last I checked, they only had a few left. Good luck with your search.

EDIT: Also, I saw new townhomes being constructed on Harmony Road (behind TD bank). Not sure what's the deal with those, but you should check 'em out as well.

Truex Place is in the New Monmouth section of Middletown.

Is this a nice section of Middletown, or should I look elsewhere? Homes seem to be kept nice, we are retired and want a quiet neighborhood.

Good Luck!

A friend of mine lives in the New Monmouth area. Has a nice 3BR ranch with a good-size yard on a cul-de-sac and her neighborhood seems very family-oriented, friendly and safe. It's a good middle-class area--not snobby, not trashy.
