About Tinton Falls, NJ
Tinton Falls is named for its natural waterfall — the highest natural falls on New Jersey's coastal plain (a 19-foot drop) — and the historic district around it, where the Tinton Falls Mill and early ironworks date to the 1600s (source). Today the borough is a suburban hub at the junction of the Garden State Parkway (Exit 105), Route 18, and Route 36 — commercial corridors and corporate offices along the highways, established neighborhoods and townhome communities off them. The location is the pitch: minutes from Red Bank's downtown and train station, minutes from the beaches of Long Branch and Asbury Park, and directly on the Parkway for both NYC and Shore Points commutes. Housing spans condos and townhomes to substantial single-family homes — a practical base for commuters who want the shore lifestyle without the beach-town price.
