About Upper Freehold, NJ
Upper Freehold is Monmouth County's farm country — a large, rural township in the county's northwest corner where preserved farmland, sod farms, and historic hamlets outnumber subdivisions. Historic Walnford, the 18th-century mill village on Crosswicks Creek, is the centerpiece: a county park with the Walnford house, gristmill, and carriage house (source). Crosswicks Creek Park (2,366 acres) and Clayton Park add hiking, kayaking, and the Union Transportation Trail through old rail bed. The hamlets of Imlaystown and Cream Ridge hold the township's commercial life (Cream Ridge Winery is a local fixture); Allentown, just over the Mercer County line, is the practical downtown. Housing is farmhouses, colonials on acreage, and newer estate homes — this is the pick for buyers who want land, horses, and dark skies within reach of the Shore and the Turnpike corridor.
