Poor New Jersey-—when most people think of NJ they think of Trenton and other big cities. I know that was always the impression I had.
My neighbors in Texas a few years back were originally from NJ, but had settled in TX with his job. When he retired, they went back to NJ, and chose, of all places, Clinton NJ!
I was incredulous! How could they leave Texas and return to a place like NJ? (Of course, I had never been there-just had a picture in my mind of what it must be like.)
The long and short of it is, they live in one of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen-—lovely house, overlooking a reservoir which looks like a good sized lake, and the house itself looks like they cut out some space in a heavily wooded area and dropped the house in the middle of it.
They have black bears that come right up to their house—and a lot of other wildlife creatures in the area.
It’s beautiful—and a fun place to visit in the summer—but I wouldn’t want to live there—especially in the winter.
(I’m a Texan—I don’t “do” cold—LOL!)
Clinton, NJ, in Hunterdon County, is beautiful. And...the demographics are, how you say, congenial.
