I'm fairly new to So. Plainfield. Moved here approximately 4 years ago in 2018.
My son started school here. I find the town to be very family oriented which I love. I've been happy with the school system. Although, recent frequent turn-over at Franklin Elementary is a little dis-heartening.
what I would like to see change? I would like to see us build up and utilize are town center. Making more walk to restaurants / shopping etc..

Very peaceful town with friendly, family-oriented population and excellent access to shopping, the highways and restaurants. The culture of the town is very laid-back, relative to other NYC suburbs close to the northeast corridor or Bergen lines. The township has historically been sensibly prudent regarding expenditure and not wasted too much money on just making the public schools glamorous unlike some other nj town.
I grew up in South Plainfield it is a friendly inviting community where neighbors look out for one another, and everyone says hello to one another. Police force is community oriented; they are actively involved in building and maintaining strong relationships within the community.
