@mendezmodern: People don’t leave North Jersey because it’s bad… they leave because they weren’t ready for it. I see it all the time. Some love it. Some hate it. Same place. Usually comes down to this👇 1️⃣ Wrong town JC ≠ Hackensack ≠ Fort Lee Lifestyle matters more than people think 2️⃣ The pace Traffic, parking, commuting… it’s not slow living 3️⃣ The cost Not just rent — taxes, tolls, everyday life adds up fast 4️⃣ They chased space, not lifestyle Looks good on paper… doesn’t always feel right daily North Jersey hits different depending on where you land. If you’re thinking about moving here, don’t guess it. DM me MOVE and I’ll help you figure out the right area 📩 Daniel Mendez 📧 | [email protected] 📱 | 201-862-7186

It’s the cost! Generational Bergen county resident here. I don’t know who could justify $2000+ monthly for a basic tiny apartment often with little to no parking or yard use

I raise six kids in north west Bergen county. I’ve been here my entire adult life. Traveled and lived many places before settling where I’m at. And besides the cost of living sucking every penny from everybody😂. Honestly love everything about it! It’s home to my wife and all 6 kids now with 6 grandkids. 🥰

I grew up in North Jersey and I hated it at the time. I just thought it was so ugly and I was too young to take advantage of NYC nightlife so I didn't appreciate how nearby it was. Now I live in Somerset County, and it is prettier I guess but damn is it BORING! I didn't appreciate what I had in North Jersey. Now I kinda want to go back, but I can't afford it 😢

Unfortunately, people who were born and raised here, can’t afford to live in this state 💔

700k for a tiny shack with no yard just because the NYC bus is a five minute walk? No thanks

No way you’re moving here if you never lived here … Why in the world would you ? The only things that keep us here is family and because we’re familiar .
