Our Take
West Long Branch, NJ, is a suburban neighborhood with high median home values and household incomes, but it lacks walkability and has limited public transportation options. The area has well-rated schools and low flood risk, but its high cost of living and lengthy commute to Midtown Manhattan may be deterrents for some.
