A nice town with some important positives like access to NYC and well- connected to major highways. The population has become more diverse but not reflected in town leadership or general discourse. Schools are good really riding on past glories, they need serious capital investment or the students will be left behind.
New Providence is an awesome town to live in and particularly to raise a family in. There is a real sense of community here, it is safe, and most people are friendly. The only downside is the options for nightlife, there are very few. The downtown area is small and everything seems to shut down by 9pm, with only 2 or 3 restaurant/bars staying open past then. However, the benefits of living here definitely outweigh the lack of entertainment.
I call this place Mayberry, as in the old Andy Griffend show. Safe, quiet, inactive government, and roads need fixing. Schools very good, can be better. Biggest demerit is mayor and town council who think america is still in the 1950s. Diversity is slowly getting better.
