My family and I love living in Chester; the schools are top notch, people are friendly and there are amazing public parks and trails for biking, walking, and snow shoeing/cross country skiing during the winter. We love the space and green we have here - we feel tucked away and safe in this quiet and cozy corner of NJ. This is a perfect spot for families and active people to move to. Shopping options in neighboring towns are abundant, and the few restaurants we *do* have are delish! We have many fantastic doctors in town and close by in nearby towns. I couldn’t imagine a better spot to land in NJ, with our young family.
There is a false sense of community. People will look you right in the face as they are stabbing you in the back. Chester appears to be a picturesque town; one that looks beautiful upon first glance but when you look deep into the photo you do not like what you see.
Chester Township is a wonderful place to grow up. I loved the schools and the people. I do think that the town should fill the empty store locations, including Larison's turkey Farm. This would help the town dramatically. The downtown of Chester is quaint and always hustling especially around the Apple picking season.
