Born and raised in the Avenel section of Woodbridge. Lived on both sides of the tracks. Moved away a few times but ended up back. Creature of comfort I guess. It had always been a nice town, quiet community, average schools, convenient to most shopping and areas of interest. Over the the past 8-10 years there has been A LOT of development. The area has now become very crowded, major loss of privacy to most of the smaller older homes, streets are more hazardous, and due to all the new "luxury" developments and entertainment venues, the noise level, traffic, & parking in those areas has become a major problem. Mind you with all this new revenue, our property taxes continue to rise. This had a very nice small town feel at one time but now it's literally busting at the seems.
Woodbridge is not the worst town to live in. I've always kind of felt pretty meh about it, but if you can afford it it's pretty good. The public schools in the area don't have the best academics, but also not the worst. The food variety is pretty average with really only chinese, spanish and indian food being the most diverse. Woodbridge also has an insane number of salons and I just don't know why. The downtown area is expanding a bit and has more selections of food and beverage places, think a trendy fro-yo or coffee shop. Another good addition is the library and the services they do provide. However, with all these add-ons the whole area does not really stand out as amazing. It's pretty expensive and as I said before, the overall feeling to me is meh.
Woodbridge is a small, quiet, and friendly neighborhood. There is a variety of great public schools in the area to choose from. Food stores, Malls, Parks, Community Centers, & other activities are all short distances away. Not much happens in this town, so with that being said if you enjoy peace and quiet, then Woodbridge is the place for you.
