Freehold is an independent borough within the larger Freehold Township in central New Jersey. The community boasts a rich history and was the site of pivotal conflict during the Revolutionary War, commemorated at the nearby Monmouth Battlefield State Park. The community features a thriving Downtown district along Main Street, where you’ll find a restaurant scene serving up cuisine from around the world: whether you’re in the mood for Japanese of Jamaican, pizza or Peruvian, you’ll find it here.

On the south side of town, several larger shopping centers and the local multiplex movie theater provide more options for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Living in Freehold puts you only about fifteen miles inland from Asbury Park, so heading to the shore for a day is always a welcome possibility.
