Jackson is a fantastic, friendly town. I have lived here all my life. The schools are great and I have had some of the same friends since kindergarten! Jackson is a very big town yet it feels like a small town because everybody knows everyone. It has a real hometown feel, like the towns Bruce Springsteen talks about in a lot of his songs!
Jackson twp is a family friendly community. I have been able to enjoy quality life while raising two young boys. The education system is great, my neighbors are amazing and there is peace, safety and an abundance of available affordable activities for kids and adults. I love it here!
There is an overwhelming impending sense of “doom” and tension present among residents as the Orthodox population heavily purchases properties throughout nearly all parts of the township. Pressure to sell among the Gentile population has resulted in a disjointed community and reduced school enrollment as the orthodox population send their children solely to private yeshivas. “Blockbusting” really is happening in Jackson, and I would advise to move elsewhere.
