Moving to River Edge -what should I know?

Sebastian B. Sep 15, 2025

I've lived in Westside for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good healthcare facilities
- The cost of living scene is tough

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
