Black bear sightings are on the rise in New Jersey.

Bear sightings have been called in to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection with people seeing them in backyards and in downtown areas.  Follow simple 'Bear Smart' techniques to reduce human-bear encounters.

‘Bear Smart’ guidelines would include limiting bird feeders and securing  all garbage receptacles.  Remember, protect your dogs and cats if you let them out and protect pets and animals who live outside.

If you live in New Jersey, you've most like said the words "our home is your vacation" to probably one person in your lifetime.

There are so many things to do throughout the summer months along the coastline and in our beautiful beach towns.

That is why more and more people decide to purchase a vacation home here in New Jersey every year.

Dwellics recently released a report that analyzes 40 different New Jersey beach towns and communities. With the data collected, the company has compiled a list (scroll below) of the top ten places to buy a vacation home in New Jersey in 2022.
