Point Pleasant, New Jersey

Point Pleasant Beach NJ
If you're from New Jersey, Philly, or the 5 Boroughs of NYC, you may have been to PPB or know about it.  It is a charming shore town that is highly popular among locals and non-locals.  I have been here numerous times, showing properties, enjoying my free time at the beach, going to Jenkinson's, enjoying the boardwalk, and enjoying the many fantastic restaurants & bars that they have to offer.
One of my absolute favorite places to eat is JOE LEONES.  It is a local Italian Deli that sells fresh everything, hot food, deli cold cuts, freshly made sandwiches, cookies and bread, Italian specialty drinks and foods...
My favorite sandwich to get from here is the Chicken Cutlet w/ Fresh MOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZ, tomato, lettuce, roasted red peppers, balsamic glaze & grilled vegetables on Semolina with Sesame seeds.  Make sure you also pick up the chocolate sandwich cookies!  And in case you need fine wines or good libations, the Wine Outlet is right across the parking from Joe Leone's!

Hazlet borders Holmdel to the North, Middletown & Lincroft NJ to the East, Colt's Neck to the South & Matawan/Aberdeen, and Marlboro to the East. The average annual family income is around $160,000, which was back in 2009. Holmdel is home to Holmdel Park, which spreads over 565 acres. You can also find the Holmdel Arboretum within the park grounds. The township's name is derived from the Holmes family, who were early settlers of the area. Others claim it was derived from two Dutch words, Holm & Del, which means "Pleasant Valley."
The proximity to the Garden State Parkway, large-scale homes, excellent schools, and lush greenery make it a highly desirable area to move to. You can also find the PNC Bank Arts Center located right off the Garden State Parkway. Back in 2009, Money Magazine & CNN ranked Holmdel the #1 Six-Figure Town.
