Worst things about Glen Gardner nobody talks about

OK so I'm a remote worker and Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $1,472 for rent here. Rent is about $1,472/month for a decent place. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Worth the trade-offs? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Great outdoor activities nearby

- Good healthcare facilities

- The healthcare scene is better than expected

The downsides:

- Rising rent and home prices

- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..

I've been living here for 1 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The public transit is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..
