New Jersey - What's Good?

We live pretty well here. New Jersey residents enjoy some of the highest income per capita in the US. 

We also currently have the highest rated public school system in the country. 

Most of New Jersey remains quite beautiful. It is not smelly and dirty. We have some of the strongest environmental regulations in the country. Most of New Jersey’s smelly and dirty industries have been continually improving, including those located within the narrow transit corridor approaching the international airport and New York City. In New Jersey, you’ll find wonderful towns to live in amongst rural farmland, mountains, rivers, forests and of course beautiful beaches along the shore. 

Property taxes compared to the other states in other parts of the country are high, but we also get a lot more for our money compared to low tax states. We have more and better infrastructure, more and better-paid police officers and firefighters, and the highest ranked public schools in the country. Depending on the year, New Jersey Ranks #1, 2 or 3 overall in Pre-K through 12th grade (according to U.S. News and several other sources).

There are also other tax advantages to living in New Jersey, such as income tax. According to PocketSense, “New Jersey’s lowest income tax rate is 1.4 percent while New York’s is 4 percent.”

Lower taxes, better schools and environmental beauty are among the top reasons why so many business savvy people work in The City, but opt to live in New Jersey. 

What else do we love about the garden state?

  • Specialty food shops; Italian, Middle Eastern, Polish, etc. 
  • Amazing ethnic food
  • Athletic fields and sports facilities
  • Farm stands and farmers markets and orchards
  • 141 miles of beaches, boardwalks and shoreline
  • Cute river towns with art galleries, antique shops and cafes
  • Wineries and breweries, top golf courses and luxury estates
  • Fossil hunting in Colts Neck and Middletown
  • A great place to grow your family
