Why Live in Fords
Part of Woodbridge Township’s slogan is “Ten small towns, one great community,” and one of those small towns is Fords, a gateway to New York City and other parts of New Jersey. “When people are looking for a home in Middlesex County, Woodbridge is the bullseye, and Fords is in the middle of that bullseye,” says Robert Golden, Broker with RE/MAX Select who was born and raised in town. “The main draw is that the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike intersect in Fords, which is a big deal for commuters.” About 25 miles outside of New York City, this small North Jersey town is home to nearly 13,000 residents.
With access to a plethora of shopping and popular community recreational spaces, Fords residents value the town’s suburban environment. “It’s a blue-collar town that probably attracts more families because the majority of the homes are single-family residential,” Golden says. If residents can’t find an amenity in Fords, they don’t need to go far to find it in another part of the township. “It’s an interchangeable piece of the puzzle,” Golden says. “The property values are strong and maintain their value. And if you need to commute, Fords puts you on the ground
