To add:
Getting your child into a school is a nightmare.
Taxes on homes are high.
No english for high school boys (I don’t know if this is still the rule).
And the biggest reason:
And you have to live in New Jersey, the armpit of America, and the home of Jersey Shore (Note: I have never seen the show, but have heard about it in the news).
That being said, there are many good things about Lakewood. The Yeshiva alone is a good reason to move there.
