Atlantic County Reviews
Rating 4.11 out of 5 9 reviews
Living in Atlantic County by the shore has its perks and disadvantages. The beach, boardwalk and great food spots are easily accessible all year round. However, during the summer, the area is congested with tourist or vacationers often leave stores with little food and take the parking spots everywhere on the street. Winter is always beautiful and the area is free from congestion. Some cities are more family friendly than others. I would like to see a change in areas with high crime rates. I think those areas need more community involvement and free or low-fee programs for the youth.
Great place to live and raise a family! You get the best of both worlds with peace and quiet in the woods, close to the water, and do not have to travel far to find many businesses to shop!
The community is very tight-knit and dedicated to each other. The reality is that the area is dependent entirely on very fragile economic opportunities, and this has led the area to be strong, steady, and caring.
