My expertise growing up in kearny was honestly quite interesting, although yes there have been many many negatives there are so many more positives. For example, kearny is a very small town which means not being able to do much here, but it being small I am blesses to be close and or in someway known by almost everyone I meet. Everywhere I go in kearny I run into someone I know, which I enjoy because I never feel like an outsider.
Kearny has always been a town loved by many. It is considered "soccer town, New Jersey". We have a local community theater and we used to have our own movie theater as well. The town is currently investing in the Kearny Commons, which is now being filled with several stores that are making it harder to live in Kearny. Though the town is relatively safe and is a wonderful place for those who want to have families, the new stores and apartments being built and bringing in more city-dwellers which is changing the way Kearny is.
Kearny is a nice town to live in. Fairly active town, interactive members, lots of dog owners. Public schools are pretty good. Very family friendly town. Not too much night life as there aren't really any clubs around. Fairly diverse town with majority being hispanic or portuguese/brazilian. Affordable home taxes.
