If anything could improve, it would be the traffic; but then again, everyone else must think it's a great place to come to, as well!
I would say Toms River is a nice place to live. You're right by the shore which is great and a beach is probably fifteen to twenty minutes away, even if you live in a town near by Toms River. I live in Bayville but I am always going to Toms River because there is so much more to do there. It can get boring sometimes so if you are always looking for something to do, this might not be the place. It's great for families and there are great neighborhoods but there are also some that are not. You just have to make sure you look into where you are trying to live. Overall, I think it is a great place to look into, especially if you love the beach and boardwalks!
Toms River is at its prime time in the summer time. We live right by Seaside so it gets crazy busy here sometimes! But, Toms River is such a family friendly town to live in and I would totally want to raise my own children here. There are so many fun activities year round that can involve anyone! We have so many shops and places to go, which really helps keep the town running and busy. Everyone is so friendly and kind to each other and it is such a positive thing to witness!
