Another interesting feature of Central NJ is the diversity of places people and things to do. People from many different cultures and backgrounds find Central New Jersey a comfortable inviting place to live.
Adult communities are popping up throughout the area, proving that not everyone wants to move to Florida or Arizona when they retire. Some of these communities are exquisite, with amenities and activities that show why they are called “active adult” communities.
Generation Y are the next big buyers of real estate and they want something completely different from their parents or Gen Xers want. They want town life where they can walk around, see people and do things. They love eating out and they want to be near public transportation so they can go to the City when they feel like it.
Several towns along the 4 NJ Transit train lines that run through Central NJ, The Northeast Corridor, Raritan, Morris and Gladstone Lines, fit the bill. Bound Brook, for instance has been in the news over the years every time there are heavy rains and flooding. The US Army Corps of Engineers is making progress in finishing their Green Brook Flood Control Project that should eliminate the problems of the past. Even before that, however, much of the town is above the flood plain and poses no risk. This makes for a great opportunity. Real estate costs are lower in some of these areas because of the past flooding problems, and they are nice towns with train stations and restaurants. But once the flood projects are completed, they will see only increases in property values and features.
I will talk about more towns along the train lines and adult communities in coming posts.
