Reply to comment by snarkuzoid in Moving to NJ for a job in Raritan by tsukinoxhana

I honestly don’t mind something more suburb-y, I just wanna make sure I’ll have things to do outside of work 😭 thanks for the input!!

Harriman state park is less than an hour away. Catskills are probably an hour and half. If you ski or snowboard, Vermont is 4 hours lol

If I may ask (since you came from Bay area) did you come from GNE or AZ?

Norvin Greene too, smaller park but still very nice, plus a bit closer to where OP is moving if you don't want to make the trip to NY.

NYC by driving or by train will always be an option living in New Jersey.. Easy trip.. I suspect you'll have all you need in The Big Apple..

I hope you move goes well..

Morristown is more lively than Somerville. The train line to NYC is a bit better than the Raritan Valley line. New Brunswick is pretty lively as well.

Great live music in Morristown at The Laundromat and Homestead. There are others, too, but that's where I frequent.

It you have decent personal mobility you could do ok in Somerville without a car on most days. It's still Jersey, you'll want to go somewhere car dependent at some point, but you won't NEED it every day.
