Hackensack Reviews
Rating 3.76 out of 5 104 reviews
Could use more civilization and responsibility, especially coming from the people here. The crime rate is more than 50% and people here need to take more responsibility of their actions. Sometimes they glare disrespectfully at outsiders who do nothing wrong to them and when questioned, they become irrational and brash. Sometimes even rude. Nice suburbs and places for families to go to, especially the parks and nature walks too. Overall a peaceful community and great education. Positive environment in conclusion.
I've been living in Hackensack since I've attending elementary here. The town is very well to live in. The area contains many restaurants and a good hospital. You're 35 minutes away from the EWR airport and close to the George Washington Bridge. The diversity is very great too! The job opportunities is very large. I would recommend anyone to live in this area to be close to the industries and resources Hackensack owns.
Hackensack is nice! it’s the perfect mix between commercial and residential. Everything is somewhat walkable, Pretty Safe as well!
