As Lakewood’s population explodes, more and more home buyers are looking<br />

past the township borders towards greener pastures — or at least less crowded<br />

ones. Rising real estate prices in Lakewood, coupled with increased crowding and<br />

Lakewood’s relatively high property tax rate, have spurred growing South interest Lakewood in Lakewood’s<br />

neighbors to the west and south: Jackson and Toms River.<br />

Buying a home outside of Lakewood often affords the buyer more house and land<br />

for Whitesville their money, as the prices of these areas have not yet been driven up by demand<br />

from the frum community. Property tax rates in Jackson and Toms River are a<br />

full .5% lower. Additionally, just like Lakewood of years past, these communities are<br />

suburban, quiet, and have little congestion, offering superior quality of life. These<br />

same advantages can be disadvantages too, though, as these areas are further<br />

from the schools, shuls and shopping of Lakewood itself. Golf Club<br />

While some of this infrastructure may come with time, local residents and zoning<br />

boards often resist the encroachment of Jewish institutions. “Jackson Strong” and<br />

“Toms River Strong” signs urging locals not to sell out are a familiar sight. While<br />

most neighbors are courteous and polite to whoever behaves in kind to them, it is<br />

worthwhile to verify to the best of one’s ability that the nieghbors near a prospective<br />

home are respectful and not hostile.<br />

Aside from the comforts of feeling welcome, other issues<br />

to consider include:<br />

• Community infrastructure: As of this printing, no<br />

shuls have been approved in either Jackson or Toms<br />

River. Additionally, no mikveh is on the horizon in<br />

either town.<br />

• Construction permits: In Lakewood, it’s unfortunately<br />

too easy to fall into sloppy habits regarding<br />

permits and other building ordinances. Exercise<br />

care to hire contractors who are well-versed in the<br />

appropriate building codes and will adhere to the<br />

letter of the law while executing your project.<br />

• Transportation: When trying to obtain busing<br />

to Lakewood schools, students who live in other<br />

towns have met with varying degrees of success.<br />

The township reimburses the Lakewood Board of<br />

Lakewood schools; in practice, there are sometimes<br />

while others bring their children to the nearest stop<br />
