I live very close to that area, and having lived all throughout NJ, I would say Somerville is a great place to be. There’s lots to do in central NJ, and you’re also very close to NYC / Philly, jersey shore and hiking spots aren’t far also. After you move, feel free to reach out if you need a recommendation on something. I’m a chef and could help picking out places for a night out.

Central and I think NJ in general is so culturally diverse. There’s so much goodness just a hop, skip and jump away
