Lakewood, NJ: lively suburban hub with lakes, easy shopping, transit, and quick beach escapes. Residents like friendly vibes, quiet 55+ areas, parks, and proximity to Point Pleasant Beach. They gripe about severe traffic, overbuilding, thin sidewalks, and strained schools and services.

  • Carolyn A.
    Leisure Village, Lakewood
    "I lived here for four years. The landlord was horrible constantly asking for money and saying I never paid a security deposit even though I had receipts they also took said deposit and never put it in a savings account to accrue interest. They also told me I had to pay water but never settled the previous tenants bill. It was a constant battle always entering my home without permission and accusing me of damage done previously (I took pictures when I moved in) I wouldn’t rent from those people in Portsmouth again if you paid me. Good luck future tenants. "
