My wife 2 daughters (7 and 15) and I are debating moving to NJ for a job opportunity. We live in Orlando FL currently in a good neighborhood with good schools (sometimes those exist here) close to a lot of good restaurants, bars, and music venues.
List of concerns:
-General culture… I have a southern accent and say yes ma’am/ sir habitually. I generally love the north east and people from the north east. (I know y’all aren’t a monolith.)
Location… we’d need to be in east NJ near Asbury Park and everyone I’ve ever met lives/ lived near Philly.
-Finding a sweet spot near good schools, kinda close to cool restaurants/ bars, decent sized house. We’re in 1600 sqft 3/2 now.
-We’ll be making 600k + a year. Is that enough?
Welcome advice outside of these specific concerns.
Thanks so much!
