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!
