I enjoy the diversity of the area although I wish the roads were safer. The people are kind and the area is safe. Ive made amazing strides towards my goals since moving!
Being here is very important to me. It's an area of New Jersey that I grew up in. There are some farms a few minutes away from my house, and the library is just around the corner, along with a public school. There's also lots of trees around and wide grass areas. What I would maybe change about it is having more neighbors of my age that I can interact with and events not far away from home.
Overall I believe that this a a good place to live a raise children. We have community events year round and have organizations to help those who need a little more support. There is good and bad in all places but the good aspects overrule the bad. The things I would like to change is the housing. Most of the apartments where a significant portion of residents live in are out of date and are interfering with the curb appeal. There has been recent construction on houses and roads have been paved increasing property value. If more places like apartments improve, it will increase the quality of life for residents and raise the overall property value.
