Edison Township is filled with vibrant and diverse cultures. Home to people of all walks of life, the choice in cuisine is unlimited and spectacular. Schooling here is rated very highly and is competitive, however, schools are over populated. In addition, due to excellent schooling, property tax is expensive. Despite the exorbitant amount paid in property tax, Edison lacks sufficient recreational activities for its residents, such as parks. When going through the neighborhood, Edison is generally extremely safe and family friendly! I've lived in Edison almost my whole life and the people I've met are ones that I will never forget.
Perhaps it is because I have lived here so long but this town is average. There isn't much to do in Edison, so you have to travel out. There is always potholes, although I will say that they have finally patched up two main residential areas I always cross paths with. The public schools are very academically competitive and overcrowded though. Solutions for the middle and high school include increasing class sizes and adding trailers for spare classrooms, including classes for music.
Edison township has a very diverse population. It is one of the reasons people are very open and understanding. There are lots of really nice families that create town-wide organizations and groups for anyone to join. My parents are part of the "College kids organization" and the "North Indian Group". Lots of things happen on the weekends, from outdoor movie nights to baseball games. It's a really open town that doesn't judge or stereotype you no matter who you are.
