@@sty723 Thanks for the comment! Online shopping has made a difference, but I challenge you to visit Paramus Mall during the holiday season. It’s insane!
@@sty723 No doubt, because that parking lot stays at capacity over the weekend once we hit November! That alone would make me rethink my shopping routine.
Great description. You are correct, property taxes are outrageous. And, there is a state income tax.Very little goes to infrastructure. Probably because they give up to 90% of base pay to retired government workers, teachers included. Also, don't try to pump your own gas. NJ apparently thinks their residents are too incompetent and might blow up their cars. The 'law' can arrest you for that 'offense'. Another word on expressways: If you happen to get off on the wrong exit, many, if not most, exits have no access/frontage roads or turn-arounds. And there are few if any entrance lanes that allow one to get up to highway speed when entering the expressway. You might want to do a description of the South Jersey retirement communities. Homes are smaller, but more affordable. Finally, 'back in the day', New Yorkers would invade NJ, especially the malls, during the holidays. NJ had a lower sales tax. Has that changed? I left NJ almost 50 years ago and never looked back. However, if you are wealthy, New Jersey can be a great place to live. At least it has all four seasons, which is about the only thing I miss, being in deep South Texas.
Former Jersey resident here who lived in the northern part. Left Jersey in 1990. And never looked back. I have a few family members that still live there, but I have no desire to return.
@@metropcs1976 Thanks for the comment! Please share a favorite memory or neighborhood event from your time there! The neighborhood is definitely trending upward being the prime residential area of East Orange.

@@newjerseylivinggroup here’s one thing about Dunellen. There’s lots of Hispanic people there and I’m also Hispanic I recommend you going to some of the Hispanic restaurants
I'm a Jersey girl. I have lived in the northern part of the state and the southern part of the state. I love New Jersey. Another benefit of high property taxes is:. I love not paying tax on my clothes for my groceries for medicine, and especially I love not pumping my own gas. Go Jersey forever❤❤❤❤❤

Sparta is building a housing project. please encourage MINORITY MILITARY FAMILIES to apply! Our soldiers deserve safe communities to raise their families.
I am originally from Brooklyn, so i'm an east coast guy. I Moved to san diego in 2015, and now starting to make plans to move back in 2025. California was cool, but east coast is my tribe, looking into North Jersey so that i can be close to family over in NYC.
I grew up here, and it was wonderful to be a child in the 1960's in this amazing unique place, with the Rahway River Greenway and Nomahegan Park to ride our bikes to, and a downtown area that was a kid's dream with toy stores, old-fashioned 1950's soda shops and an ornate 1920's art deco movie house that has now sadly been transformed into a triplex. One of the only businesses from that time left is Breem's Liquor, which is remarkably unchanged today, including its classic outdoor metal sign. I must say though that the rap-style music you have chosen does not seem to fit in with the quaint, classic antiqueness that is the hallmark of Cranford's town character.

Thanks for sharing @urlocalkoalanerd! Please share a highlight location in Weehawken that you would like to promote, perhaps a restaurant or social scene.
@@newjerseylivinggroup Well I live near Gregory Park on Gregory Ave. and I love the view of NY. Also I have a local deli called "The Oak Deli" on Oak Street. They serve such amazing food for breakfast, and lunch. I go there a lot so if you ever go nearby I would reccomend it!
Hey @thomasdixon-ir3ht, many of the stores located downtown are owned and/or operated by Spanish speakers. However, I have never had a problem with a language barrier in any of the stores I have visited.
They actually have 2 of the highest performing high schools in the state, and rank nationally as well. Of course there is specific selection criterion for admission.
Thinking of moving there from downtown Newark with my 2 kids but I hear the school systems aren't good at all! ... I really want to be in a diverse community that's affordable with a great school district. Any advice?
Hi @kimh9420, thanks for the comment. There are several high quality charter schools, parochial schools, and private school options in Newark for those who choose not to go with the public option. Please contact me directly for more specific insights.

Hi @polamidget1926, thanks for the comment! What would you consider to be the best features of Hawthorne? Your first hand feedback will be great for other viewers to reference.
Hi @maladyantique, thanks for the comment. The best opportunities in this market are with properties that are a bit distressed or in need of significant upgrades. Price can be negotiable and the equity gained once finished is usually substantial.

We moved to the Gregory area of West Orange right on the border of South Orange about 8 months ago and we could not be happier! There is no shortage of activities, great people, and great food right around us in West Orange, South Orange, Maplewood, and Millburn/Short Hills; and despite not having our own train station, getting to Mountain or South Orange station is a breeze making it so easy to get to the city. West Orange is in close proximity to anything you could want, whether you like the city, the suburbs, or the rural outdoors. I have lived all over the country and this area has offered me more than anywhere else and we love it! (painful to say coming from Long Island 😉).
Been going to the agrove since 1999 when I first met the wife. We found it on the internet, did not realize it was a quiet spot like that, but ended up loving it (helps that you can go next door to As Rut or Belmar if you desire a bit faster pace for entertainment. I recently retired and have been thinking about investing into a B and B in the area (we have stayed at the Ocean Plaza almost every summer for at least a couple nights for the past 15 years or so).
@@newjerseylivinggroup I lived in a remote area of Morris County 1981-2002. When I moved in, there were still farms. By the time I left, the farms became one acre house lots and garden apartments. Traffic tripled on my county road. Route 80 commute was a nightmare,
Thanks for the comment @nanylorenaguerro775! There are a few higher demand neighborhoods in Linden. The train station and proximity to NYC has made the town an attractive location for investors and city commuters. Please contact me if you would like additional info.
OMG The boardwalks of NJ are being taken over by the scum of earth. Pop up parties, young ADULTS behaving disrespectful to families of all walks of life trying to enjoy life at the beach and supporting the small businesses on the boardwalk. You would have to be crazy to take your young children there. I’m never going to Point Pleasant, West Long Branch or Asbury Park again. Woke thugs now destroying NJ. Telling family and friends to stay away
@@newjerseylivinggroup I only lived in NJ from April 1971 to February 1973. Somerset was a nice town that I liked. I wish I would rode my bike more to see the place. It had to one interesting street patterns. And I had to ride a bus to Junior High. That was Sampson Smith on Amwell Road.
I lived at 421 Elm Street in Westfield until January 21st, 1974. My room was over the living and dining rooms, the driveway side, seen in The town that spawned The Addams Family (right or northside of the Victorian at 411 Elm Street). The town was also featured in the series Ed, in the beginning of each show with the Rialto on the left across from the Yesterdade that was The Play Fair originally. Music Staff was on Quimby Street and Hill's Ice Cream was on Broad Street. The town doesn't look all that different from when I lived there. I'm writing a series of 13 chapter novels about growing up there because 13 chapters = 13 weeks, a season, storylines interconnected, intertwined, 1 per day. Western Bay, OR where it takes place is the mirror image of Westfield pre-1974.
The places I mentioned no longer exist or the names were changed over the years but the library, Mindowaskin Park playground and train station still exist. What were the names of the stores on either side of The Play Fair, I entered & exited through the back door. What were the names of the stores that the hotel replaced? That hotel wasn't there when I lived there until January 21st, 1974. I know Ted's Smoke Shop was on the corner of Elm & Broad, Woolworth was on the other side of it on Elm & Broad. I know the Rialto closed. Why, I don't know. The same about Theodore Roosevelt Junior High becoming Roosevelt Intermediate School. Its it a school for the learning disabled now? I still can't believe it's been 50 years since I lived there! If you know anyone there in their 60s & 70s who lived there back in the 60s & 70s I'd love to email with them to reminisce. It would be helpful for my audiobook & ebook Western Bay for now, picking up/starting on June 9th, 1969. Western Bay, OR fictional but the mirror image of Westfield, NJ; same names of parks, public schools K-8, and so on.
