Monmouth County Tech and Arts Hub
Welcome to Holmdel, a Monmouth County township known for Bell Works, the PNC Bank Arts Center, and Holmdel Park's trails and historic farm.
Holmdel Township is a suburban township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, situated in the state's central coastal plain roughly midway between New York City and the Jersey Shore. With a population of 17,436 at the 2020 census, it is among the most desirable communities in one of New Jersey's most sought-after counties, known for its excellent schools, spacious homes, and a pair of signature institutions that give the township outsized cultural and economic presence. The first is Bell Works, the reimagined former Bell Labs research campus. The modernist complex operated as a Bell System and Bell Labs research facility from 1962 until 2007, and its redevelopment into a mixed-use "metroburb" has made it a hub for technology companies, offices, retail, dining, and community events. The second is the PNC Bank Arts Center, a major outdoor amphitheater with seating for about 17,000 that hosts a summer-long slate of national touring acts. Holmdel Park, a Monmouth County park, anchors outdoor life with roughly ten miles of trails, the David C. Shaw Arboretum, ponds, and Historic Longstreet Farm, a living-history farm depicting 1890s Monmouth County life. Together, these amenities give residents a blend of culture, nature, and commerce rarely found in a town of this scale. The township's housing stock consists largely of large-lot, single-family suburban homes, with higher-end properties in the southwest and more rural acreage in the north. The Holmdel Public Schools are highly rated, with a distinctive single-school-per-grade structure that simplifies school choice for families. Holmdel appeals to professionals, families, and commuters who want a quiet, well-resourced suburb with quick access to New York City, the Garden State Parkway, and the Jersey Shore beaches.
