It has a unique and distinguished heritage that has earned it a special place in the hearts of its residents. Without the commercial activity of Red Bank to the west or the large estates of Rumson to the east, Fair Haven developed as a community of small streets and close neighbors. Residents know and care for one another, and the community s friendly and relaxed atmosphere always puts people at ease." |
