It is very lively, which means it's noisy ALL THE TIME and feels like a post-college playground. So, if you have outgrown that lifestyle, I would look more at Jersey City, which is also lively, but in a less obnoxious way.

I lived in South Orange NJ when I was commuting to Manhattan. It's more urban/suburban. Lots of space for cars. More family oriented. More green. I would take the NJ train to Hoboken and then PATH into world trade center every day. It would be about an hour and ten minute commute door to door. Which honestly was fine because you can relax on the train. Driving into Manhattan is an absolute nightmare and I would not recommend it.

Now we live on 3/4 of an acre in Upstate NY, with farms on one side and urban living right off the Hudson river on the other. I commute to my office in the house and I have all sorts of space for my toys. Rush hour here is when the buses line up to drop the kids off from school. hahah

that's a nice view. we used to live in livingston when I was a kid, parents taught at seton hall university.

RTO for us got pushed back to Feb 1 so I'm still working from home in St. Louis for now but I flew into the city yesterday for the holiday party... that was just canceled, haha

That view is from the walkway over the Hudson bridge: https://walkway.org/ We live about 10 mins inland from there.

We lived right next to seton hall when we where in South Orange. Now we live next to Marist and Vassar. Which is nice because it gives the area the college town vibes, but in a good way.

Our company party in Manhattan was canceled this week as well. We had people flying in from all over the world for it too.
