What moving in Stafford looks like

Local moving notes for Stafford

Neighborhoods

Stafford includes Manahawkin, Beach Haven West, part of Ocean Acres, and smaller places like Cedar Run, Mayetta and Warren Grove. Beach Haven West was dredged out of salt marsh starting in 1957 and has more than 130 lagoons and about 5,000 homes.

Lagoon homes and flooding

A lot of Manahawkin and Beach Haven West homes sit right on the lagoons, and many have been raised. Expect stairs, and keep the lids on when the driveway's wet. Over half of Beach Haven West's homes are summer places, so spring and fall are busy for opening and closing moves.

The Route 72 bottleneck

Route 72 over the Manahawkin Bay bridges is the only road onto Long Beach Island, so all the beach traffic funnels through Manahawkin. Parkway Exit 63 is at Route 72. Summer Fridays and Saturdays are rough, so pick a weekday if you can.

Bulk pickup and utilities

The township's bulk, brush and metal collection page covers getting rid of the big stuff. Much of Stafford gets electric from Atlantic City Electric, unlike most of Ocean County, so confirm your provider when you set up service. Gas is New Jersey Natural Gas.

Schools

Stafford Township School District covers the younger grades, and students go to Southern Regional for grades 7 to 12. Southern Regional High School is right in Manahawkin.
