charleslee 44 Posted March 26, 2023 A friend’s niece is considering looking for an apt in either East Hampton or Mt. Holly, NJ. Can anyone provide insight into those cities as to safety, decent apartments, etc., pls.? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W2MC 1,699 Posted March 27, 2023 Haven't been in that area in awhile.....but I used to live in Medford. Its only a couple towns over from Mount Holly; but given the choice, I'd go there rather than Easthampton or Mount Holly. There are several nice apartment complexes - I was in the Cedars - off Route 70, back 35-40 years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRIZ 3,369 Posted March 27, 2023 Google the crime rates in those towns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An apt complex that went down the pooper may account for a lot of the crime. For example I heard a stat that if NYC could get 3000 career criminals off the street permanently as they are responsible for 80% of the crime in NYC. Bragg's, no bail, no prosecution policies may have upped that number. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are several nice apartment complexes - I was in the Cedars - off Route 70, back 35-40 years ago. I lived in Cedars at Medford Jan 2019 - June 2020. I loved it there, moved for work out of the state for 2 years and when I came back I went to a different area closer to family. But I loved Medford! It's the nicest town in the area. Parts of Mt. Laurel would be my second favorite. Mt. Holly is a bit rough in parts, same as Cherry Hill. The amptons are all mostly pretty good too Also, read up over on City-data.com the sire has great statistics on all towns and the forums (use the search, lottss of info there) are very useful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
