Why Fall the Best Time to Move to the Jersey Shore

Any real beach lover knows the Jersey Shore isn’t just for summer. The beach can be enjoyed year round. There's nothing quite like walking on a deserted beach in the off-season, just listening to the lapping waves and enjoying the fresh brisk air. 

If you want to move near the beach so you can enjoy its beauty and wonder all year long, then fall is the perfect time to do so. During fall, you can still experience the beautiful weather, but without the heavy traffic and crowds.  Whether you're looking for apartments to rent in Neptune, NJ or Galloway, here's why you should move now. 

Fewer Crowds 

As summer is dubbed beach season, it is obvious moving once the crowds have left will save you time and stress. Heavy traffic is common during the busy season, but the streets are nearly empty in the fall. Arriving at your new apartment will be a breeze, and you can take advantage of the lack of tourists to explore your new city. In addition to lighter traffic, fewer people will make it easier to dine at the best restaurants and see the most popular sites. 

Peaceful Beaches

Upon your move, you can enjoy what brought you here in the first place… the beach! With tourist season over, you can spread out on the sand and take in the amazing view, without tons of beach chairs impeding your view. Your beach time won't be inhibited by hordes of people and loud conversations. You can unwind with a good book, enjoy a picnic, or watch the sunset in peace. 

Beautiful Weather 

If you've ever moved before, then you know moving all your furniture and belongings can be tiring and make you break a sweat. In the hot summer heat, moving a large sofa or queen size bed can be excruciating. The brisk weather makes moving heavy things more manageable.  

Festival Season

There's no better time than festival season to get acquainted with a new area. Fall festivals are filled with beloved fall activities like pumpkin carving, apple picking, and costume contests, plus great foods and brews, including your seasonal favorites. Be sure to check out the Fall Harvest Festival and Craft Show in Ocean Grove, which will feature more than 180 arts and crafts vendors, live music, sidewalk sales, pumpkin painting, and great food. Another popular fall event is The Glow: A Jack O' Lantern Experience at the Monmouth Park Racetrack, an enchanting quarter mile walk-through event featuring over 5,000 hand-carved illuminated Jack O' Lanterns displayed in elaborate detail.
