I like that it's a small town. I think the local government does a good job with community events. We are know for our John Basilone parade which attracts thousands to our town each year. I would love to see a facelift for the main street. More businesses to reduce taxes. Taxes are a major concern in the area. With only one local school we pay a hefty school tax along with high property taxes. I have heard complaints that the quality of education has gone down at the only elementary school.
I live in a suburb separated from Bridgewater by a street. Its a fairly secluded place, with trees surrounding each property. Lots of families in the area, good for children to make friends. A strip mall is located not far from this intersection, though its main draws are the gyms and China Moon. It's 10 minutes away the Somerset Circle, where one can find Panera's or T.G.I. Friday, and about 15 minutes away from the Bridgewater Commons mall. Amenities are in easy reach in this neighborhood.
It is a small town with a great public school. Many churches and bars and everything is walking distance, and it is a train stop as well.
