Raising a family in Roselle Park -thoughts?

Alright, I'm retired and Homes are going for about $405,800 on average. It's a a small town city with about 13,965 people. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've lived in The Heights for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The housing market scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

As someone who grew up here, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. A lot has changed in the past few years though. job market used to be much wild but now it's average.
