Parkway Pines

Parkway Pines

Parkway Pines is an enclave located in Brick Township, New Jersey, USA. It was first settled in the 1960s.

The enclave gets its name from its proximity to Exit 91 of the Garden State Parkway. In the early years of the GSP, bedroom communities sprouted near exits, encouraging city dwellers to settle further south, in presumably quieter and safer surroundings, and commute to and from the city each working day. Exit 91 exits the Parkway southbound and enters the Parkway northbound.

Parkway Pines is a model community in observable ways. There are two main streets, Neil Avenue and Stephan Lane, connected by a series of short blocks: Barbara Lane, Skipper Lane and Lark Lane. Lanes Mill Road runs east to west across the bottom boundary of the community; the Pine Barrens form a natural boundary to the west; and Howell Township, in Monmouth County, sits just to the north.

Thee is a large park located between Lark Lane and Lanes Mill Road. This park contains a pavilion, two ballfields and a playground. There is parking on Neil Avenue and a path between houses from Lark Lane.

Homes were all of a similar design: single story, 3 bedrooms and one bathroom, with a kitchen, living room and laundry room. Some homes were offered with a garage which could alternately be converted to a sun room.

The homes were quite small by modern standards, especially the bedrooms, which ranged from 8x10 to 12x14. Each home has a front and back yard, sufficient for children to play. Most homes have backyard fences, perhaps a relic of city life.
