Random thought, We're a young couple and Rent is about $1,859/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 18,748 people. The median home value here is around $580,800, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -Rutherford sits at 65.1 per 100K. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Is this normal for Rutherford? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
