Hey, We have two kids and Poverty rate is 24.5%, which is higher than I expected. Household incomes average around $84,789 in Dunellen. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Has anyone dealt with this? I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've been living here for 11 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The dating scene is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've lived in Greenfield for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
- The healthcare scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
