It is a great place. You get to leave the over stuffy cramped no parking life of Brooklyn, Queens etc. Homes cost less than the city and the commute is not long to Manhattan (shorter than taking the train from Flatbush believe it or not)
The people are friendly and you have a sense of community, something sorely lacking in some other large communities..You are close to all the in town communities of New York, Monsey/upstate, Lakewood, Long Island, other New Jersey communities etc..it is truly an excellent location.
Very good schools, shuls, and people. Kosher Eiruv. What more can a Yid ask for?
