Easy access to public transportation, stores and plenty of older people.

This town, despite the realities of the outside world, is filled with little kids! The neighborhood I live is nothing but smiles with them. Certain times at night things can be hectic but in the Hudson County itself. Other than that, it's a safe town to be in.
