Vibe- diverse lower middle class suburban area, fast food restaurants, pizza places, diners and Mexican food. Abbot Marshlands are nice for short hikes, fishing and kayaking. Close to Bordentown if you want a walkable area with bars/restaurants in a walkable colonial town.

The rest of Hamilton is a standard NJ suburb lots of pizza places although some other decent ethnic food options exist. Veterans Park is a nice park with lots of trails and activities. Hamilton Library is great.

Traffic- it’s busy but no where near as busy as Fair Lawn or Paterson.

Safety-further you are from the Trenton border the safer it is. Based on the prior places you’ve lived you’ll be fine with it.

Jobs- state government is a huge employer in the area, lots of private sector jobs based in Hamilton and Princeton.
