About Lake Como
Lake Como is a tiny borough (about a quarter square mile) just inland from Belmar and Spring Lake. Its official name has been Lake Como only since January 4, 2005, when voters approved changing it from South Belmar. The borough is a non-operating district with send/receive relationships: K–8 students attend Belmar Elementary in neighboring Belmar, and high-school students attend Manasquan High School. Confirm the current sending arrangements with the borough, as these relationships can change.
