Living in New Jersey

Benefitting from the comparatively lower costs of homes and rental properties, many who call New Jersey home work out of state in New York City or Philadelphia. This large percentage of commuters has helped spur the growth of New Jersey's popular and affordable restaurant industry. Contrary to common thought, outside the major cities and seaside resorts, a large part of New Jersey is agricultural, boasting vast forests and large farms.
