Located midway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, the attractive and rapidly growing suburban township of Monroe creates an idyllic living situation for commuters.  Although multi-family developments are available, the majority of residents prefer single-family homes shaded by mature greenery.  With the area’s rich land resources, Monroe’s contemporary residential villages and subdivisions feature attractive homes where spacious, well-distance lots create an open feeling.  The leading community of Williamstown is surrounded by Cecil, Cross Keys, Downer, New Brooklyn, Robanna, and Victory Lakes.  Several branches of the Great Egg Harbor River add scenic beauty throughout the township.  Recreational amenities include lush parks, playgrounds, tennis courts, major recreational areas, mini-parks, tennis courts, athletic and ball fields, organized team sports, and swimming pools.
