Answered: Should I Live in East Orange? 🤔

The decision of where to live is a personal one and depends on your individual circumstances and preferences. However, we can provide you with some information about East Orange, New Jersey to help you make an informed decision.

East Orange is a city located in Essex County, New Jersey. It is approximately 12 miles west of Manhattan and has a population of approximately 65,000 people. The city has a diverse population and a rich history, and it is known for its Victorian architecture and cultural institutions. East Orange is also home to several parks and recreational areas, as well as shopping and dining options.

As with any city, there are pros and cons. For the pros, the city’s location is unbeatable; with its proximity to NYC and almost every major highway, it’s every NYC-metro commuter’s dream. You get the best of both worlds with accessing NYC when you need, but still being able to retreat back to the NJ suburbs when you want a break from the chaos, pollution, and noise in cozy & green NJ. Because of this unique crossover, it offers a lower cost of living than many areas in the metropolitan area. On the negative side, the city has faced economic challenges in recent years, and it has a higher crime rate compared to some other areas in New Jersey.
