East Brunswick is a very commercial-oriented community, in a state (New Jersey) where it is very expensive to live if you are over 60 and-or retired. Commuting to New York City is adequate, and there are local buses, but it is best to get around by car. Education is very good for young people, but there are opportunities for continuing education at the vocational high school, at Rutgers, and at the county community college, but you have to drive there. There is a senior center by the library, but it has limited hours and services. The library is the best place to interact with others.
