Old Bridge Named a Top Five New Jersey Town For Young Families

Old Bridge, the site of Lennar’s new Carriage Park at Old Bridge residential community, was recently named one of the top five places to live for young families in New Jersey by the personal finance website, Nerdwallet.com.

The report touted Old Bridge’s public schools, affordable cost of living and above average rate of economic growth as reasons for its high ranking. Residents of Old Bridge enjoy more than 6,625 acres of nearby recreational space that is part of the Middlesex County Parks system and an easy commute to work, the report noted.

The positive grade for Old Bridge follows Money Magazine’s previous description of the town as one of the “best places to live” in the country.

Situated in a quiet corner of Old Bridge, Carriage Park offers buyers spacious, modern homes, with prices starting from $419,950. A total of 34 homes sites are available and buyers can choose from two floor plans and two different elevations. The three-bedroom, 2.5-bath homes range from 1,988 to 2,152 sq. ft. All homes include a full basement that can be finished, while bonus rooms are available in select homes.

The value of every home at Carriage Park is enhanced by Lennar’s nationally-acclaimed “Everything’s Included” program, which provides buyers with today’s most popular features and upgrades already included in the purchase price.

The community is located on Matchaponix Road, just minutes from Route 9, Route 18, the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike. NJ Transit bus service to Manhattan is available at a number of locations throughout Old Bridge. Retail and restaurants are abundant in the area, with a healthy mix of local businesses, upscale regional retailers and national brand name stores. Numerous recreational opportunities are available nearby, including township-operated athletic facilities such as tennis courts and ball fields. Some of New Jersey’s most popular beaches are about a 30 minute drive away.
