Our Take
Freehold, NJ is a decent suburban area with good schools and a relatively low crime rate, but its car-dependent lifestyle and limited public transportation options might not suit everyone. The area is generally quiet and has some green spaces, but it lacks a vibrant dining and nightlife scene. With a high median home price and moderate median income, it's essential to weigh the pros and cons before deciding to move here.
