we bought on the historic side because we like the quietude of the villages there - no one travelling thru to get to someplace else! the most noise around our house is created by landscapers or the late nite folks @ the hot tub!

we bought on the historic side because we enjoy the variety of homes here and the size of the lots on which they are situated. we may be communities of manufactured homes - but those homes have been here thru many a storm and no reason to think they are going anywhere in the next storm or the ones after that.

and we bought here because the house was just what we needed...for our second vacation home!!! yikes! since i have bought all of my real estate on the 3D plan [death, divorce or destitution] we low balled our offer - being convinced that the seller would counter and we would deal from there...well, the seller accepted our offer and we had to find a way to pay for what we had bought! oy vey! it was the same way we would up with our first vacation home - in maine!

as snowbirds this house is just right - it gets us out of the frozen wasteland of new jersey in winter! when at home we get to enjoy the best of the jersey shore all summer long [living just a short 1 mile walk from the ocean and beach]. and then we get to head north to maine where we restore our sould with the splendor of foliage season.

we really are living happily ever after!
