A little History of Old Bridge, NJ:
Initially, Old Bridge Township was made up of farms and the population grew slowly. In 1880, the population was 1,662 and in 1950 it had reached only 7,365. Then the building boom started and farms gave way to developments. In 1960, the population was 22,772 and that was only the beginning. The 1980 census sited 51,406 people and even that was questioned because areas of the Township have post offices bearing the names of other communities in the area. Today, the Township population is estimated to be 60,000 and continued growth is forecasted. Of the Township’s 38.3 square miles, approximately one third is developed.
Hundreds of Thousands of people flock to the Jersey Shore each summer. The shore is a healthy, happy and pleasant place to be during the hot and humid weather. From an historical perspective it is evident that the Old Bridge waterfront has been a site of considerable commercial and recreational activity ever since the area was first inhabited by the Lenni Lenape. Much of this activity was directly attributed to the flora and fauna, natural bathing beaches, and access to the major navigational routes. A combination of the detrimental effects of water pollution on existing bayshore flora and fauna, storm damage and resultant beach erosion and building destruction, unsightly filling of the water’s edge in some locations, and a general neglect of this valuable asset has led to a deterioration of the bayfront area.
During the past decade, the Township of Old Bridge initiated efforts to reverse this trend. Forty-seven acres of waterfront land were acquired and the first phase of the Laurence Harbor Park was developed. Additional plans for groins, erosion control and recreational facilities were also initiated. Hopefully, future historians will be able to look back with satisfaction and pride to the 1980’s as a decade of renaissance for the Old Bridge waterfront. Significantly, the State of New Jersey had established a policy of upgrading and enhancing the State’s waterways in the 1980’s. This policy evolved through continued efforts in planning and regulating development in the coastal area which culminated in a Presidential directive that 1980 be designated as “The Year of the Coast”.
In 1995, as part of the Shore Protection Beach revitalization project, two new groins (jetties) were built off the Laurence Harbor beachfront and the entire beach was replenished with new sand. A New Jersey Shore Protection grant of $2,100,000 was provided for the project. In 1998, the Middlesex County Park Commission leased the shorefront from the Township and planned the development of a major waterfront park. In March 1999, the State Department of Environmental Protection awarded the Township with a $300,000 grant to repair the Laurence Harbor Beach groin (jetty). The award was presented to the Township through the office of the DEP Administrator, Bernard Moore, longtime Chief of the Bureau of Coastal Engineering. Since the old groin was already included in the County’s plan for improvements, the $300,000 grant will be used for additional site work and recreational amenities.
I have moved to Better Homes Realty in Keyport!
I would like to take a moment or should I say, take a blog, to announce that I am now with Better Homes Realty in Keyport. I decided to make the switch to Better Homes for a number of reasons. One being that Tradition, Distinction, and Innovation have distinguished Better Homes Realty as a leading real estate company, and these values continue to drive the service you will receive from my agency and me by innovative thinking, creative marketing and leadership. Another factor in making my decision to switch has to do with the fact that while Better Homes Realty remains a locally owned and operated company -a rarity in the real estate world – we nonetheless have a global reach, introducing home to buyers throughout the world.
And, most importantly, all of Better Homes’ services are conducted in-house with the Better Homes Realty professionalism that is known and recognized around the world. Whatever your needs, whatever your lifestyle, Better Homes Realty is the better way to buy or sell your home!

I just closed a captivating hill top Colonial in Country Hills Estates for $770,000!! From the private cul-de-sac entrance to the rustic wooded backyard, elegance is spoken here. This estate features 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and a huge kitchen that opens to a family room with vaulted ceilings and a stone-facade gas fireplace and beautiful views of the grounds. Congratulations to the Zhang Family!
"We are a family of four people newly moved to the central New Jersey area from overseas. With the help from Anthony, we were able to select a house that we will be happy in for a long time.
We first met Anthony from the web. Anthony took us to see some houses the first time in March and we were very
impressed with his professionalism and honesty. Anthony spent quality time researching properties that suited our needs. Anthony listens carefully to his customers and he works very hard to come up with the listings which is well
suited for his customers.
Looking back on the entire homebuyer process, we believe that Anthony is a no pressure real estate agent. Rather
different from other agents, Anthony is willing to spend the time and effort in preparing for his buyers and to make sure that they will be happy in the home they are buying.
Our family is well adjusted to the new area and we appreciate Anthony's assistance and will most definitely refer other customers to him in the future."

Largely unknown to most of its current residents, Marlboro’s history is a chronicle that is rich in tradition. In fact, its history might be called typical of the growth of the nation outside the large cities. From the earliest settlements until fairly recently, Marlboro was a rural community composed of a number of small hamlets with names like Morganville, Robertsville, Wickatunk, Bradevelt, Topanemus, Hillsdale, Montrose, and Pleasant Valley. Although they each had small inns or taverns, the hub of activity centered around what is still referred to today as Marlboro Village. This is the area around the intersection of Main Street (Route 79) and School Road.
At the time of its incorporation, Marlboro had a population of about 1,500. By the 1880 census, that figure had grown to 2,200. After World War II, as the State started to build new roads and improve existing roads, the Township began to change from a rural to a suburban community. By the time of the 1980 census, Marlboro’s population had risen to 18,000, and in 1990, it had grown to 28,000. Today, it stands at well over 30,000.
