A lot of free activities for kids and adults.
Asbury Park is a compact city which make getting from one place to another relatively convenient. It has several senior living complexes, including on on the beach, and a beautiful new senior center that provides transportation to and from. There are several free boardwalk concerts in the summer.
Nice people nice downtown shopping area and minutes firin beach
I feel Asbury Park offers more services than other towns for its seniors as well as for its lower income or residents that are suffering more than their fair share of hardship.
Because it's a very good place to raise your family.
