Fort Lee is a phenomenal borough to reside in. Located just outside of New York City and providing access to many other close areas of interest, Fort Lee is busy and always interesting. My favorite aspects of living in Fort Lee are the food and how close-knit and kind the community is. Home to some of my favorite eating establishments, Fort Lee offers amazing cuisine from many different cultures and walks of life. However, I would say that the only negative part of living in this are is the traffic. In the more urban area of Fort Lee that is closer to the George Washington Bridge, residents always seem to be impacted by commuters utilizing our town as a shortcut to their destination of New York.
I enjoy living in fort lee a lot. I had a great experience attending school #4 elementary school. As a reward school, they offer a great education for young children as they offer a diverse experience. Fort lee offers a great community as they often hold local events. It's also great being located so close to the city and having such easy access to go in and out of the city. However, I wish the dining options were much more diverse than they currently are.
Ft. Lee is an affluent suburb of NYC with an urban flair. It's a bedroom community with mainly large co-ops and condos buildings. It's largest demographic is Korean business people. There's tons of traffic, bridgegate, that spills into town since first exit from George Washington Bridge, which comes with heavy police presence that can be harassing. It is not a friendly town to residents or outsiders. Many New Yorkers moved here with additudes and show off thier wealth. There has been massive luxury properties built in the past years that have overcrowded the schools and town with more to come. I can see immenant domain buying up older properties and more skyscrapers throughout the rest of town and transforming it completely into a mini NYC. That Mayor will make millions because his family owns a real estate business too. Town has already become overcrowded and congested and no longer desirable. People moved away from NYC for a better quality of life for thier family.
