middletown new jersey

It's a safe place for children.
The teachers in our schools are talented and dedicated.
There are community activities for all ages.
We are just at the "top" of the jersey Shore...seven miles from Sandy Hook.
There is still a lot of open space.

Our community is becoming over-developed, too many stores and strip malls.
The local police target and stalk our teenage residents.
There is a lack of centrality...our town is divided into "areas" that are clearly defined by income.
Our property taxes are nearly unaffordable
We lack the cultural diversity of most suburban communities.
