Estell Manor Park is close by to Mays Landing, NJ on Route 50 – It is situated on around 1700 acres. This is Atlantic County Park System's most popular park and the Division of Parks and Recreation headquarters.

“The Atlantic County Park System is committed to the preservation of open space and outdoor recreation. The Atlantic County Park System offers a wide variety of recreational and leisure activities including events, crafts, environmental education, and children's programs.”

In my humble opinion, it’s a great area for every one to have the benefit of when having the opportunity to visit this location.

My attending many fall festivals at the Powhatan Renape Nation -- http://www.powhatan.org/
I found it to be a wealth of information -- enlightening the public of their traditional ways and you can learn about wolves and buffalo that are present during the festival. They have a museum that has specific hours and is great to visit. During the festivals they serve up various traditional Indian foods that are setup in tents & huts in a food court like arrangement close to their main kitchen accommodation. They have guided tours & put on different types of shows and dance too. The ancestral village is a really great experience, people local to this area tend to visit year after year and find it a great experience. The Powhatan Renape Nation educates community about their historical ways. The ADMISSION is payable upon entrance $10 for adults, $ 5 for seniors and children 6-12. Children 5 and under are FREE!

Bridgeton Pike is located in Mantua, NJ. Bridgeton Pike is an extremely busy road at times. One can hear the traffic passing by this location during all hours of the day. However, Bridgeton Pike has traffic lights to control the traffic flow which helps the children of the area & when exiting the driveway.

This is a good location to live because it is close to all amenities, health services, public transportation, libraries etc…

This vicinity has modest single family homes and it’s a nice place to live for families with children. Not much play area for little kids because of the highly traveled road. But, there is a nice size play area in the rear of this particular home.

The backyard is a nice place to relax and enjoy a small camp fire while chatting with neighbors & friends while having a cold beer. Cookouts are very popular during the summer months and sometimes throughout the year weather permitting!

Mantua Public Schools rank 7 out of 10 but, a lot families send their kids to private schools that are local to the neighborhood. FYI http://www.greatschools.net/city/Mantua/NJ

This establishment offers a very friendly atmosphere and the service is great when you are finally seated.

This place is ALWAYS crowded and folks seem not to mine the wait as the line grows outside. They are typically opened during the summer months daily around 5pm.

Kinda wish this place was larger to provide better accommodation to its patrons and I think they could use more parking for the handicapped.

This is a GREAT family Restaurant and most locals return time after time again!!!

PHILLIPS LANDING a state recreation district on the Nanticoke River.

PHILLIPS LANDING ROAD is lined with magnificent newer built homes along the way.

Some property owners have direct access to this body of water from their properties.

A great area to raise a family and an excellent place for nearby communities to go have an enjoyable day with family or friends!!!

Another fine-looking residential neighborhood possibly zoned agricultural too located in Laurel, Delaware. This street has many fine homes which may not be far from chicken growers. From the aerial details on the map it appears this maybe the case.

However, I suppose there are various tradeoffs to consider when deciding to live in a rural location. After all Delmarva Peninsula is well-known as a huge chicken growers’ region.

The impact of all the chicken waste can be potent, as it washes off the fields and seeps into groundwater and, water is essential to the general public!

FYI-- drinking water in central and southern Delaware is supplied mostly by wells.

A nice residential /agricultural area located on ONEALS RD in Delaware. There are a number of fine homes on this road among various chicken growers on the street.

However, I suppose that the winds carrying the stench of ammonia can be a bit much if one is not accustom to this type of country living understanding in some parts of Delmarva which is noted as a large chicken growers’ region.

These fine-looking homes in this vicinity perhaps could be affected by nasty side-effects along with runoff and pollution.

While living on the Eastern Shore of Delmarva it is extremely windy at times.

Essentially every property owner will have to deal with roofing issues sooner or later which is why some homeowners have chosen ‘metal roofing’ as a tentative once in a life time repair.

The two close-up shots of these homes side by side are located on E State St, in Delmar, Delaware. I suspect that the roof replacements were done around the same timeframe.

The flavor of neighborhood is very diverse in its characteristics and is close to all amenities.

A particularly gorgeous home located in the country on Sharptown Rd, / Laurel Rd on Rt. 24 in Laurel, Delaware.

The images taken of this scene does not do it any justice – which is why I attempted to shot it from various locations.

For this reason I probably should consider investing in a wide angle lens!

This location in the neighborhood of Mantua is likely to flood due to the creek that flows behind the properties on 1st Ave when it rains heavy. The waters can rise to the level of the back door.
However, the people in this location were friendly and it's close to shopping & other amenities.

The Mantua area is great vicinity live, it offer a variety of amenities and many types of living arrangements from condos, town homes, existing single-family homes and this area has grown with several newer developments.
The building phase included Newer Condos, Town Homes & Fantastic single-family units located on farmland. There's even a newer Home Depot & Kohl's Dept store close by.

The folks I met in all parts Mantua, NJ are very hospitable!

As can be seen this is an untraditional street sign White Horse Pike & Fairmount Ave -- Several municipalities local to Clementon, Berlin & Lindenwold, NJ used this type of street sign makers.

The White Horse Pike is also known as US Route 30 and is heavily traveled. There are many businesses located on this highway too.

Because these signs are positioned at eye level it seems to make it easier to locate unknown roads while driving especially if one is foreign to the area.

When I lived in Runnemede, NJ at this location it when called the Hartford Arms Apartments and I liked living at both apartments that I had within this community.

It is now called The Meadows at Runnemede.

We had good neighbors during my occupancy. Typically, if there were problems the maintenance department handled the matter in a timely way (usually with the heat).
I enjoyed all the amenities that are associated to this area.

During the timeframe when we lived there, single-family homes were being built across the street in addition to a shopping strip with a major supermarket.

In my recent visit it shows that they continue to build upscale homes in this vicinity.

W. Broad Street in Paulsboro, NJ has some fantastic historic homes that have a lot of conveniences to offer to the residents who live there and is located near Interstate 295.

Great neighborhood whether your single, a couple, or a family-- this condominium & town house community offers a variety of floor plan designs in each of the units.

The grounds are maintain by the condo association and was kept immaculate throughout every season, especially during the snowy winters.

One major negative observation was that some units appeared to have installation problems which prevented the homeowner from using each room of their property during the winter time. And, if you lived on the upper level the stairwell was extremely cold too.

I visited a friend that lives in a pristine section of Moorestown that has lovely apartment building tucked away in this area of absolutely fine magnificent mansions. She's within walking distance to a nearby church and many other services. It’s good to know that a developer thought to provide accommodation for the renter folks who wanted to live in area that has the reputation like awesome community!

Stop to check out this location if you ever in the neighborhood.

This is the location of the 24-hr Wal-Mart Supercenter located in Seaford, DE.

Although I like the tax-free shopping that Delaware offers this is the Wal-Mart of last resort because of my having to travel 18 miles one way for food shopping they seem never to have the shelves stocked which make it feel like a complete waste of time!

I have gone there at different times and it’s the same scenario.

Sussex Highway in Laurel is the main route to Delaware’ tax-free shopping-- you definitely need a vehicle if you live in the State of Delaware and surrounding areas.
