Best kept secrets of Somerset, NJ
Been meaning to ask this. The median home value here is around $408,600, which is pretty steep. The unemployment rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Not very walkable
