(OT) NT & WAP help for move to New Jersey

[Guest guest]

A new job with my DH's work means we will be moved by his company in the next

few months to New Jersey. The job will be in et. It will happen quickly &

we will have only a short time to buy a new home (co. will sell ours here). So

finding a good place to live is the first thing.

This is why we are asking on the list as maybe some of you live there, some

probably know folks that live there or even if you have only visited or

vacationed there, your input, advice & guidance is very valuable for our

decisions.

We have all our NT sources figured out for here, but will have to start from

scratch in NJ.

We feel like, at most, DH wouldn't want to have a commute more than 1 hour to

the new job. So we wouldn't have to limit ourselves to just that city. It's just

the two of us. as part of the moving policy we will have to " buy " a new home,

so. We would rather not have neighbors right outside our windows...more of " just

out of town " type area, but still fairly close to shopping, Dr's, etc.

This will be an opportunity to find a good holistic type doctor, I have

arthritis & thyroid issues so I have to find Dr.

New dentist...another good chance to find holistic care

We are also wondering about raw milk etc.(is it legal there?), meat, Farmer's

Markets, HFS, Whole Food store, Trader Joe's & would like to be closer to those

sources.

As much as we would appreciate " good places " suggestions, we would also like to

know of any " BAD/STAY AWAY " places. Don't want to get into a crime or drug type

of area.

So, please, anything you can tell us would be wonderful. You can rely to us

personally if you wish, so as not to bother those on the NT list.

Try Momouth County in NJ. It is so different from other places because it has

beaches. It is not too far from et either. Hunterdon, Somerset and

Counties are also nice and a nice commute to et, but these are

horse counties. Beautiful estate communities are abundant in these areas. In

Monmouth, horse countries also exist, but the place is just so varied. It is

just so beautifu. Try Colts Neck, Holmdel, Middletown, Rumson, Shrewsbury and

Little Silver, etc. Schools here are also nice specially Holmdel.

We stayed in Middletown where there are trains, buses and ferry to NYC. Beach

is ten minutes away from our place. Malls are not so far either. Most of

Monmouth County towns are bedroom communities but with good shopping areas and

produce markets. In Colts Neck they have Delicious Orchards are real big farm

market with zillion varieties of cheeses and their own made breads and cakes and

pies.

We are now here in Texas and miss the East Coast terribly.
