I'm up here in Bergen County! After growing up in Anderson I've lived here for just over 20 years. I assume if the job is in NJ you'll be living in NJ?
I've always said that I truly love it here...it's expensive of course, but a great place to live. Quick access to NYC, tons of great restaurants and things to do, you're a quick drive to the beach, a quick drive to the mountains, apple picking and leaves on the fall, etc. Here in northern NJ you're like a 45 minute drive to some decent skiing in the winter and a couple hour drive from some great skiing in VT, which helps make up for the fact that golf season generally ends in late October and doesn't pick back up until March if you're lucky. Also, incredible golf in the area even if much of it is private.
Anyhow, welcome!
