Mays Landing is a beautiful community and a census-designated place located in New Jersey, United States. I have been living here for four years now and It is a really nice area to live in with good affordable houses and a Wawa located on almost every corner. I love living in Mays landing because it has a really cool vibe about it and a lot of nice spots to visit, shop, and explore. The Hamilton mall is the main shopping mall in the area and has a huge food court inside. We have big stores like Walmart, Target, and Acme located in the area. Some of my amazing places to eat are chipotle, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chilli, Applebee's. Applebee's been my personal favorite. Also we have a good transportation system, the NJ transit. I honestly do not really have anything I will like to change. But if I could change anything; I would create more jobs. Please I hope you visit the Mays landing area and I guarantee you will love it.
Mays Landing is definietly one of the mosty homely, family-oreitented towns in all of South Jersey. The moment I first arrived I could already feel the hearty aura around me. The town offers many tasty restaurants, nice malls, delis, grocerie stores, hardware stores, etc. Whatever you want it's available in the great town of Mays Landing. The schools are also great in the area. William Davies (local middle school) is a place where academics and friendships blossom, and the two high schools Mays Landing houses two high schools which are highly academically renowned. Mays Landing is a great town and I recommened anyone looking for a nice homely town to live, and grow up in.
