Question

Moving to Pennsylvania or New Jersey any suggestions?

Answer 1

please nobody moves to new jersey!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I live in philadelphia and I am black but my neighborhood my elementary school and high school were always hispanic so if you want to be around people with a similar culture maybe Philly would be best. Depending on the part of Jersey that may be a better option as long as its not camden. I have always loved living in Philly though i have lived in other states. There are also tons of Spanish restaurants here, spanish schools, and we always have this huge puerto rican day parade every year that i go to since my step dad is hispanic and he makes me lol

Answer 3

Philadelphia is very diverse. There's a large African American population as well as a large Asian population, but the people are generally lacking in substance I've found. I'd live in a suburb, the schooling and housing will be far better and the prospect of crime will be greatly diminished. Are you planning what home your dad buys? That'd be funny.

Answer 4

I also absolutely suggest residing in Philadelphia, until your work/existence does not contain being in the city. With the amount of time and money spent commuting you are investing in some thing nicer within Philly. If you are nonetheless thinking of going extra out, follow anything with an choice of taking a coach into town. The traffic in the suburbs is brutal, you'll love the capacity to hop a teach into city vs. Riding with the idiots. The Doylestown area in Bucks County is high-quality, close the R5 instruct into town and still practically New Jersey. Doylestown itself is really pleasant, quaint and historic, with pleasant retail outlets and restaurants. If you want something slightly more rural, try New Britain or Chalfont...Both have educate stations as good and are just south of Doylestown.

Answer 5

If it's out of the big city, I would think the Pennsylvania side of the river is generally nicer.

Answer 6

I'm a native of PA, my husband of NJ. We still visit both frequently. I love Philly. Really, really love. The taxes will be lower, but the schools are better. In terms of diversity, you'll have no issue in either state. House buying-wise, you'll get far more home in PA than in NJ. No question. Downingtown, e.g., is not diverse, but great homes. Almost anywhere in Bucks County. You can travel between the 2 states with no problem. West Chester, PA, has great homes. Out near Villanova University.

Answer 7

I live in PA and I like it here. Lots of history and all kind of people. I live 20-30 mins from Philly in the suburbs and I go to a upper-class public school district. There are many private schools as options too. Nothing is in New Jersey so I would put an 'X' through that option. I live right outside of Media, PA, and everything you need is here!

Answer 8

You might want to take a look at http://www.city-data.com/ and search for Philadelphia. It has lots of interesting and helpful information such as diversity info and crime rates broken down by different types of crime. Take a look at the different suburban locations close to Philly, too, based on where your Dad's job will be. The traffic can be pretty bad along certain routes through the city so the location of his job can be a big determining factor for where you decide to move. You might want to take a look at online newspapers, too, for the cities and towns you're considering. The local news and arts sections and even the classifieds can give you a feel for the places you're considering. If your dad gets moving expenses as a part of his new job, that often includes the cost of a hotel or some type lodging for a couple weeks to a month, usually, and that's very helpful to take advantage of. There are pros and cons for both locations but a lot is dependent on the location of his job. Good luck!

Answer 9

Pa. My cousins live there and i love going there. And its cheaper, diverse... Asst least the area my cousin is at it is. They live in sinking spring. Great place and an hr from philly

Answer 10

New Jersey is known for having good schools. Not sure how that works, considering New Jersey is the armpit of America.



Other than that, you're much better off in PA.

Answer 11

Maybe parts of Pennsauken would work. Or maybe Lindenwold, and you could take PATCO to Philly.
