Anyone regret moving to River Edge?

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is healthcare. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Old Town. It's tough for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in education you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Thai.

No regrets on my end..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 6 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is improving.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The South side vs the Old Town side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
