The Historic Montrose Neighborhood of Colts Neck, New Jersey 07722
Traveling east or west on Route 537 through Colts Neck, you can blink your eyes and unknowingly pass Montrose Road.
What's the big loss? Only that if you made the turn onto Montrose Road you would have the pleasure of driving up one of the most scenic lanes in all of Monmouth County. The slower you drive, the more stunning the vista.
Past the wide open fields of Mr. George Ditmar's (former Colts Neck mayor) farm. Mr. Ditmar was instrumental in preserving the rural atmosphere of Colts Neck. Past the horses in the meadows of three large spreads. Past the split rail fence and the stately homes.

Some homes are new. Others are not. Yet they all blend to create the Montrose section as a unique, pleasant place to live. The streets that comprise Montrose include Carriage Hill Drive, Rolling Hill Court, West Gate Court, Holland, Parkwood and of course Montrose Road.
