Hey folks, I'm a teacher here and Household incomes average around $176,667 in Fanwood. You can expect to pay around $2,368 for rent here. Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Any advice would be great. Appreciate any input. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is food scene. Other than that, Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in East area are better than expected. Kids love it here.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are improving, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.

Public transit is tough here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.
