@randorific333 you are absolutely correct about both of those things. There is also an exit tax if you leave NJ within a certain amount of time of moving there! A lot of retirees from NJ & NY are coming to PA. Whenever I am helping a buyer who is trying to decide between PA & NJ, I always make sure they're aware of these differences. Young people don't seem to care. And often you can get "more house" for less money in NJ then in the PA suburbs. So there's a trade off for sure. There are parts of NJ with low property taxes too. And for people who want more land and still be close to Philly, you definitely find more options for less cost in NJ.
@@LivinginGPP Thanks so much for the details! I'll be planning a trip next year (first time) to check out Philadelphia with the possibility of relocating. What's going to be important to me is walkability (I don't own nor want a car), feeling safe (being a senior gay), accessibility to SEPTA, and being within 20 mins. from the Gayborhood. I'll check out your other videos!
@@randorific333 You will find lots of great options for what you need and luckily even most of our suburbs are well connected with public transportation. When you're ready to dive deeper or have any questions feel free to reach out to me.

There are two drawbacks to living in New Jersey (that I'm aware of): 1) higher property tax; and 2) retirement income is taxed.

My Philadelphia neighborhood of Spruce Hill in University City is very LGBTQ+ friendly. You see rainbow flags everywhere,
