Welcome to Freehold
Freehold Township was established in 1685 as one of the three original townships in Monmouth County. Today, it is a growing suburban community that attracts many families with a good school system, easy commuting, and first rate services such as an award winning Parks & Recreation Department and a great variety of stores.
The parks include 209 acre Liberty Oak Park, 195 acre Durand Park and Turkey Swamp Park, which offers hiking trails, camping, picnic areas, row boating, canoeing and fishing on a 17 acre lake. Freehold Township is also home to the region's largest shopping mall - Freehold Raceway Mall. Yet the township still maintains a historical feeling with landmarks such as Monmouth Battlefield State Park, site of the Battle of Monmouth in 1778, and the 1800's Oakley Farmhouse with collections that chart regional and state history. There are also, sidewalk cafes, historic tours, summer concerts, parades, Kruise Nite, a spectacular community theater, antique shops, farmer's market, retail stores, public parks, the Andrew Carnegie Library and churches.
Freehold Township is 38.3 square miles with a population of approximately 31,537. The township consists of 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and 1 high school with a 20 to 1 student teacher ratio. 
Remodeling and Renovations >Do Not Over Improve
You have received some extra money! You want to remodel! If you are planning a major renovation, take a few sensible precautions before having plans drawn up and signing on the contractor's dotted line.
Any time you do any significant remodeling, you run the risk of over-improving your home. Please call or send an email if you are interested in a market analysis of what your home is currently worth. We can talk about neighborhood trends and discuss the recent sales of homes in your area.
If your neighborhood is experiencing healthy appreciation, making major changes to your home might make sense. However, if there is not much difference between the prices of remodeled homes and those which have not been renovated, expensive changes may be hard to recover if you sell your home soon. Please call or send an email to get help deciding if remodeling and renovations are in your best interest.
