Holmdel township is a good town for families, especially those with children The school system is one of the best in the area. There is also many new housing developments being built so there is many opportunities for new people to move here. However, the result is now overcrowding the schools and the small town in general. In addition, it is on the more expensive side as many of the houses are mansions.

Theres not much to do in Holmdel. Although, there are a few neighboring towns that have things to do. It is perfectly located to go 30 minutes to either the Freehold or Monmouth mall, not that far from the beach, and a quick drive to really good food or movies theaters.
Holmdel Township is a safe, healthy environment for families looking to enroll their children in a competitive public school system. The parks are beautiful, and it is about an hour away from New York City. However, being a suburb, there isn't much of a "nightlife" scene, the cost of living is high, and it is not very ethnically diverse (it is a largely white community but there is a large Chinese community as well).
