Toms River, New Jersey
New Jersey, and its infamous shore, get a lot of flak. But there’s a good reason why it’s called the Garden State: It’s beautiful when you get off the turnpike!
That includes Toms River, a beach town that’s snuggled along the Atlantic Ocean, and Barnegat Bay, a rich delta that’s long been a destination for fishing, crabbing, and boating excursions.
The historical city boasts a lively downtown with shops, restaurants, and 15 recreational parks, including a golf course. And fantastic waterfront views from both the mainland and the peninsula that’s across the water.
People looking for a deal can get into a one-bedroom home starting at about $125,000 or even a four-bedroom next to the water for around $349,000.
