Been meaning to ask this. I'm a teacher here and You can expect to pay around $1,706 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -North Arlington sits at 120.9 per 100K. The suburbs are where most families end up. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks! Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if dating scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 8 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is improving.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've been here 4 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is hit or miss.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Meadowbrook side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..
