Why More Staten Island Homeowners Are Choosing Monmouth County

Over the past few years, one trend has become undeniable—Staten Island homeowners are moving to Monmouth County, New Jersey in record numbers. Whether it’s the desire for more space, newer homes, or top-rated schools, Monmouth County has quickly become the go-to destination for families looking for a fresh start just across the bridge.

As a Staten Island real estate expert and relocation specialist, Allison Mireau of the Real Connect Group has helped countless families make this exact move. Here’s why so many are choosing Monmouth County—and why it might be the right move for you, too.

1. More Home for Your Money

In Staten Island, space comes at a premium. But just 30–40 minutes away in Monmouth County, you can find larger homes, bigger lots, and more modern amenities—often at a similar or even lower price point.

Neighborhoods like Marlboro, Holmdel, and Middletown offer everything from new-construction communities to established family-friendly neighborhoods. Buyers love that they can upgrade without stretching their budgets.

2. Top-Rated Schools and Family-Oriented Communities

Monmouth County’s school districts consistently rank among New Jersey’s best, and families relocating from Staten Island appreciate the strong academic reputation and safe, community-focused environment.

From weekend farmers markets to youth sports programs and local events, towns like Colts Neck and Manalapan offer that small-town feel with big opportunities for families.

3. A Smoother Commute Than You’d Expect

For many Staten Island residents, the idea of commuting from New Jersey sounds intimidating—but in reality, towns like Middletown and Aberdeen offer direct NJ Transit train access to Manhattan, while others have express bus routes to New York. Allison’s relocation clients are often surprised to learn that their total commute time doesn’t increase much at all.

4. A Change of Pace—Without Losing Connection

Monmouth County gives you the best of both worlds: more breathing room, but still close enough to family and friends on Staten Island. It’s the perfect middle ground for those who want a more relaxed lifestyle without fully leaving the metro area behind.

With beautiful parks, beaches, and dining along the Jersey Shore, it’s easy to see why so many Staten Island families say, “We should’ve done this sooner.”

5. Guidance from a Relocation Expert Who’s Done It Herself

Allison Mireau doesn’t just help clients make the move—she’s done it herself. After selling her own Staten Island home and relocating to New Jersey, she now helps others navigate the process seamlessly.
