The suburban township of Aberdeen blends residential neighborhoods, light industry, and commercial centers. Sections of the township include Cliffwood, Cliffwood Beach, Freneau, Oakshades, River Gardens, Strathmore, and Woodfield. The 20th century development of resort communities created a turning point for this area, particularly Strathmore in the 1960s, which doubled the current population and transformed a former farming community into a bustling suburb. Lovely new homes, good schools, local shopping, easy access to urban amenities, extensive recreational amenities and facilities, undeveloped woodlands, and beaches combine for an unparalleled quality of life.
