Holmdel is an upscale suburban community along the Garden State Parkway in east-central New Jersey. The city is famous as the longtime home of Bell Labs, a legendary scientific research facility that has attracted generations of scientists and researchers to Holmdel. Most of the community is covered by residential neighborhoods, with large houses and tree-shaded sidewalks lining the streets. Locals enjoy easy access to the huge Holmdel Park at the center of town, with Thompson Park and Tatum Park providing even more public greenspaces close at hand. On the north side, a thriving shopping district along Route 35 serves as a popular destination for locals, and the PNC Bank Arts Center amphitheater regularly hosts major concerts that attract thousands of people from across the region. Living in Holmdel puts you just a stone’s throw away from the hip Red Bank community as well as the scenic ocean beaches of the Jersey Shore.
