i grew up in sunny side Linden in late 70's early 80's. Still pretty for a few blocks. Taxes are outragous. Over 10 grand a year. People who retired and houses are paid off are looking at 1,200 a month for taxes and insurance. They were forced to sell and move out. Linden HS was great back in the day. The reason my parents worked hard to move there from Elizabeth. I still have friends who live in sunnyside .No way they would send their kids to LHS now. Linden taxes back then were very reasonable. What happened over the decades? I heard it was because GM pulled out? IDK. When it was time for me to get married. It was during the bubble in the 80's we moved away to PA. Smart move. But still miss home when visiting. Have many childhood memories there, ice skating at the pond across from the HS, cheerleading with our orange and black uniforms Linden Tigers. We had Troy Stradford ( played for Miami Dolphins in the 80's ) to cheer for he graduated with us. Use to have halloween parades. Hanging out at curtis street park as a teen. Thanks for your tour
Linden isn’t poor . They are distressed area but the city of linden isn’t poor, Far from it. Sunny side Linden Is beautiful with well kept home. A number Hasidic are taking moving now. I praying 🙏🏾the neighborhood feeling stays. Hasidic don’t assimilate. Why are moving here ??
@@Phil-fw2ib The number of Hasidim in Linden is only going to increase. There is a lot of enthusiasm in the community for Linden, and the the rabbis at the top are encouraging the move too. The community is peaceful but the "vibe" of the neighborhood will change for sure.
Hey, Karen, how is this a "poor" neighborhood, as you suggested in another comment? There are a ton of garages, vinyl fences, and very clean streets. Well-maintained vehicles, too. Are you equating multi-family units with poor?
Just added you...your videos are extremly clear..and i like that there longer than 8 minutes..plus love being the passenger looking at what can be extremly beautiful neigbourhoods
Linden is isn’t poor far from. Sunny side Linden bordering west side of clark and Rahway close to GSPKWY are beautiful. Most of long time resident form Linden and roselle are selling now , because of influx of Ultra orthodox Hasidic moving in. Local residents are concerned about it become the next Lakewood
Nothing low class about home ownership in Linden these days..smallest shoebox entry level home is half a million..new constructions start at $700k single family

Notice that the streets are clean and litter free.These people have pride in their neighborhood unlike the drunks and drug users from other areas.
Yes, it's like when you're poor but keep your home clean even with a limited economy.
Agreed!

Genuinely looks like a working class town. Very peaceful suburbs.

I'm from here. Yes, I would say its more middle class than anything else

Thanks for watching and being part of this channel. I Appreciate the support 👍
You're awesome!!
Half this video is in the neighboring town, Roselle.
Enjoying the channel these last few weeks. Thanks again!
Glad to hear it!
Nice job, once again!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much. U made my day!
Linden is not bad
Industry left Linden and the towñ is filled with apartments that no 1 local can afford. J.T.G. is probably rolling in his grave 😢
Благодарю вас за видео. На мой иностранный взгляд ничего криминального я не заметил. По моему мнению, район выглядит нормально для своего класса.
Yes , it's ok. It's a Middle class hood.
My neighborhood dill ave
More cars, larger houses, fewer abandoned houses than poor neighbourhoods. This area feels lived in and occupied.
Poor?...lol You know how much the taxes are on those homes? try 10 grand a year
Linden property taxes are way too high for those people that rent. Property owners as a result have high costs to rent their properties.
Looks like vancouver. Except all the houses would cost over a million.
IT WAS THRIVING WHEN THE POLISH PEOPLE LIVED/WORKED THERE ... THEN SOMETHING CHANGED AND CAUSED THEM TO MOVE OUT
Even in Elizabeth blacks had to leave from there too
Tell the pubic the real reason
@@Phil-fw2ib we know the real reason Spanish people came took over
I live out here. He didn't go on my block tho
My home town. You should have went past the HS
Part of tge video is Roselle not all Linden
Yes, I did got out of the area a little bit, just to compare both towns. Thanks for watching and commenting friend! 🙂
@@willyG503hey nice video, wich places recomend for take some drinks???
Do u know these people that live here in Linden to judge them as being low class?!
Where do u come from,?!

Oh wow, really, frkn ppl are taking over everywhere!
Yup
I wish they stay out of our neighborhoods I moved to roselle and I see them there alot now as well

Probably over 200k .. linden isn't cheap
Is not cheap, but unfortunately not well maintained houses and streets. 😔
200k is as good as it’s going to get for a start house. Other areas are 400k
Parece normal
Is okay yes.
@@willyG503 ❤
Far from lower class
Yeah, it's kinda middle!
Thanks for your comment and for watching video! 👍
yet, another place not to live
Wrong! The public schools are no longer the best, like a couple of generations ago. But still a safe, clean town.
