I've lived in Madison for my entire life (I'm currently 19 years old) and it is such an amazing place to grow up. The education and extracurriculars in the schools are top-notch, it's a beautiful town, there are many great places to workout and enjoy nature, it's very safe, and the people make up such a loving and close-knit (but not too close) community. I really can't imagine a better place for me to have grown up and I would be lucky to raise my children here one day. One thing that I'll say for people who are in their 20s or older is that there isn't a lot of night life (it's not always the most exciting place) but I believe surrounding towns have good places to go to. It's also on the train line so there's easy access to surrounding towns and NYC!
I'm very grateful to have lived in Madison for the past 10 years. We have a great education system and I've always had fantastic teachers who have really supported me. I've also been granted so many opportunities in Madison, like learning to play the clarinet in 4th grade which put me on the path to being the band kid I am today. We have a great music and arts department in our district. As for aspects of my life outside of school, we have a great recreational center, great businesses, beautiful architecture, and an overall close-knit community. The location is also great, as we have access to New York City, beaches, forests, and living in New Jersey is great for East Coast roadtrips.
Madison is a very nice town with very nice people. Although it is pretty small, it allows for residents to form closer bonds with each other and it is very easy to make friends. The public schools provide great education and the teachers are very friendly. The local police helps to keep the area very safe and is involved with the community. I have grown up in Madison, and the community is very friendly to everyone; young children and older adults alike.
