Kearny Reviews
Rating 3.47 out of 5 96 reviews
I love the fact that it has a lot of different ways of transit. It is very convenient to go to New York City or to go to Jersey City. It is not too far but not too close. Kearny gives you a good taste of suburban life even if you work or go to school in the city. I had a bad experience with public education, at the time the schools were not that inclusive to Asian Americans. Now since there are more Asian American residents, the high school is not as bad. The schools also embrace diversity and the LGBTQ community more than in the past. The police here are very nice and are very involved in the community. Overall it is a very nice town to live in but it can be improved.
Out of all the towns I ever lived in Kearny is 100% the best one. Great protective police force, great schools, great nightlife, and is also a great town to retire! Definitely the best town in New Jersey, and i can’t be convinced otherwise! Another great thing about this town worth note is that everything is within walking distance, i don’t even need a car, or to leave town because pretty much everything is around 10 minutes away from me!! Would for sure recommend to anyone in the market for a new house.
Personally, I would give Kearny a very good rating because of how close everything is. There's a nearby Target, Walmart, light rail, etc. There are also great people here who are respectable.
