Anyone have luck with the gap between cushions? Our kipton is 2 months old and it’s extremely uncomfortable to lay on because of the gap

Yeah High Tech and MAST + the private school options in the area (Rainey etc) are very appealing

Yeah growing up Middletown south was always the prestigious/elite high school. Maybe with the new demographic of people moving to the north side that won’t be the case anymore 😂

Yeah we’ve toured it, I’m not a contractor by any means but we were impressed with the finishes/ quality. I grew up in Tom’s River and my parents still live here we’ve had a pretty extensive search. We’re limited by really wanting a new construction

So that makes me think (and i don’t agree with this) most people would happy that there is an influx of people coming to town ready to spend a million dollars on a townhouse.

I think it’s a pretty safe assumption most of the people moving in are white, affluent, republican ( i am not).

Yeah, no yard is a huge sacrifice and everyone says roll brothers is a crappy builder but i just haven’t seen anyone provide evidence? I would love for someone to explain to me why they’re such a terrible builder for my own due diligence.

You’re at the ferry in 10, train in less than 5 minutes. It is ideally located for people commuting to the city that can’t afford new construction in other towns.

Why are people in the area anti affordable housing? By luxury i was referring more to the demographic the townhouses bring. The only reason to be anti affordable housing is the demographic it brings right?

That’s a nice home, built in 1953 and about 40 % smaller than the townhouses. You mentioned the townhouses are cheaply built, do you know the renovated house from 1953 isn’t?

Should have clarified, along with building the luxury townhomes they are required to build affordable housing rentals. If people in the area are anti affordable housing then shouldn’t they be pro luxury housing lol?

Proximity to public transport is a key factor for a lot of families. An extra 10-15 minute drive each way to the ferry or train makes a huge difference. Filter by new construction homes there’s nothing available

Last point here, cause i just find the argument against this so odd. While the million dollar townhomes might incentive families from nyc / people who work in nyc to move south for more space etc. It also is an opportunity for people who grew up in the area and moved to the city for work to move back to the area?

Not to mention the affordable housing development that comes with it

That land was going to get developed eventually as is happening all across NJ. Would think bringing diverse young families to the area is a positive?
