Actually, most of that housing is rotting away. There's mold everywhere. I grew
up in Eatoncrest apts. which is surrounded by that development. It's been
fenced in for years, and is currently home to a herd of deer.
Right around the corner at the Ft. Monmouth golf course, there were acres of
abandoned homes. All got bulldozed.
