For you two, as it's what you're used to. For others, I bet it's fine.
Like most things in life, it depends on individual experiences
In Sedona, we have all of the above.
Problem is they are awful drivers and lack car insurance so going that direction plan to play bumper cars. My wife's cousin & my friend from work live side by side in Anchorage section lagoon by the bay. It's very nice there. Are the biker gangs/section 8' still in that area
Think they are bullet proof. Things are scarier than mountain lions.
many of the lots are under .23 acre...and the houses are large. They do their best to make sure the neighbor does not have a window space directly in your outside space. It isn't what I am used to but this specific neighborhood has so much unique character, it may be worth it.
Even if it went up 10x in the next ~15 years, it's still feasible and that (along with your property taxes in DE) would be a fraction of what you'd be paying in NJ
Yeah, they are relegated to the West Belmar and Collingswood sections. And it's a good thing too- they are there to catch the neighborhood bank robbers who use their bicycle as their escape vehicle to peddle 2 blocks homes. This is brilliant planning on the part of Wall's town fathers and mothers!!!
As far as the Route 18- extension to the old Brielle Circle (now the Wall Interchange) would have been wasted money. Plus, the traffic on 35 South of Old Bridge Road going over the Manaquan River bridge is already bottlenecked enough.
Wall man nabbed after police say he fled $5K armed bank heist on bicycle
Police said a masked man entered the Bank of America on Route 35 Wednesday afternoon, brandished a weapon and took off with more than $5,000.www.app.com
What do you think the average Wall cop and teacher take home. I went down that rabbit hole when the police Sgt. was arrested. His wife is a middle school teacher. Between the 2 pensioned incomes they were taking home well over $300k in salary. Civil servants are not hurting especially in Monmouth County.
West Belmar was the final frontier of affordability. No more. The issue over there is when the wind changes direction and SMRSA odors permeate.
What kids starting out can afford southern Monmouth County. You move where you can afford. Not everyone needs to have a $750k starter home. After college I had roomates and lived a greater distance from my job because I could not afford to live in NYC/. One year of commuting into the city. I decided my time was more important and moved into the city. There are sacrifices. I am all for affordable housing. But it does not need to come at a ridiculous mandate.
They don’t need to live where they work.
Very few Rumson police officers live in town. Guessing the same for Sea Girt and Spring Lake. Plenty of housing in Middletown, Highlands, Atlantic Highlands, Union Beach, Howell, Farmingdale, Point Pleasant, Brick, etc- all perfectly nice and fine towns.
That bank robbery story is crazy. I was talking to one of the bankers at the Brielle branch about it. The freaking guy was a regular at the Wall location. They knew him by name. Apparently he was a realtor in the area and had some issues with his partners and trust accounts.Yeah, they are relegated to the West Belmar and Collingswood sections.

Ocean county teachers pay is crap. I think 1 or 2 districts in the entire county pay decent.
They need to live near where they work.
That’s the way the world works.
Yep, problems do arise in the world. Then, sometimes, the world works to solve them. Just like it seems to be doing - slowly but surely.
It is reality though. And the work does get done.
What I said is reality, absolutely. That's why I said it.
I can see this happening in resort communities. Like ski places.
Yes, it's a big problem in resort communities. It has been for a long time but has seemed to really come to a head in recent years. It gets worse over time as communities 45 minutes or an hour down the road that were once affordable price workers out and they have nowhere viable to go. At some point it's not worth it for an entire workstaff to commute that far, often through sketchy conditions. Worker shortage ...then, resorts race to find/build affordable housing.
Former firefighter. My younger brother knows people he hung out with in high school.
Well it’s also a problem when there is the one road in and one out set up.
most people in nj want to stay here but people like gov murphy make it difficult . if we can replace him with someone competent then many will want to stay. simple really
My late Dad had that in Jersey City.
It isn’t the politics. It is when you say you have low property taxes at only 10k. It is a 2k sqft home with .25 acre at $750k
But it is politics. Voting for the same Trenton pols that keep raising state taxes and even worse passing unfunded mandates that hit counties and towns (causing property taxes to skyrocket) is dumb as hell.
But this isn’t something new. People have talking about leaving NJ because of higher taxes for decades. I’m not a fan of Murphy but this isn’t just on him. I remember this same discussion back from the 80s.
whyy.org
And people have been leaving NJ for the past several decades due to taxes (which is why we keep bleeding congressional seats). So yes, it's not new but the morons in Trenton now are actually accelerating the problem. They are not even pretending to give a crap about solving it.
This is the 21st century, never buy a home on septic or well water.Sounds delightful in Delaware. Once they force upgrades to a public sewer system, the taxes and expenses will rise.
We built a house in far western NY many years ago with a septic system. The engineer who designed our system also happened to be the town official who approved the design. After we sold, there was an issue with the septic system and the buyer called for some information and was incredulous that the approval was by the same person who designed the system. It really stinks!
Human waste found in Southern Delaware waterways may correlate with home septic systems
Homeowners are not required to inspect their septic systems until they sell their home, meaning deteriorating systems could go unnoticed.
