I GROW UP IN THIS AREA IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PEACEFUL PLACE TO LIVVE AND RAIE MY CHILDREN.
Absecon is very age friendly because we live close to the bus stop. People are very friendly with each other and kind. You can leave your front door unlock and no one goes in your home.
Because it's close to transportation and there's a Dollar general right there in a vicinity and it makes it easy for the elderly to get there safely and get back home
I enjoy the friendly people in my neighborhood
I live in my apartment in Absecon NJ going on 11 yrs. coming this November 2021. It's a very quite neighborhood, nice people. But, I live on N. Shore Road & it does quite noisy on the weekends. More dog owners walking their dogs that I never seen before this nasty Covid. Also people exercising more walking down the road. Other then that it has been a pleasure living here.
