Morris County is beautiful and the schools are amazing. However, if you have lived anywhere outside of the State of New Jersey, you'll understand how truly inconvenient and unaffordable New Jersey is. It relies too heavily on New York and Philadelphia. Nothing in New Jersey is within 10-15 minutes, and NYC is not a hop, skip, and jump like residents would lead you to believe. That's only if you live in Jersey City which boasts the highest rents in the United States. Don't bother driving to NYC, you can easily spend 100+ dollars due to tolls, taxes, and fiscal mismanagement by New York. More people, higher taxes. By New Jersey standards, Morris County is more rural but the state itself is still far too congested making access to basic necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter a nightmare. Be sure to schedule your doctor appointments 2 years in advance and be prepared to commute 3 hours a day :/
Morris County is a great environment for many. Shopping centers, grocery stores, colleges, libraries, and great nightlife opportunities are at what feels like every corner. If you are looking for local job opportunities there are plenty and if you are looking for work in New York City, transportation from Morris County is more than easy and very accessible. This is a great county for families, because of the amazing school systems we have to offer, as well as our safety. You will find many people exercising, enjoying their nightlife, or choosing to walk in the streets of Morris County due to the sense of community we all feel. We also have excellent restaurants of many different cultures, from Latin America to the Mediterranian Sea, all the way to South East Asia.
