It could be that folks are tired of the traffic to shore points south, or it could be that the Monmouth County borough of Spring Lake has been listed among New Jersey's best places to live. But Realtor Elizabeth Hewson-Judge from Ward Wright Sotheby's says more and more Philadelphians are heading north to Spring Lake.
