I grew up in Monmouth County but moved to Florida decades ago. I love coming up to visit for a weekend, but I can't imagine living there again. Taxes are obscene. Property taxes plus state income tax would cost me an extra $30k a year with same salary and house value. That's bonkers.
I’m from New Jersey and although there are some good things about NJ the bad outweigh the good. The high cost of living, high taxes,and never ending traffic are bad enough, but when you have to pay for a day at the beach is the last straw. I remember Tom Kean Sr when he was Governor made the most ridiculous commercial for NJ’s beaches. “ Come to New Jersey we have the most beautiful beaches in the world.” NJ’s beaches are not that nice that you have to pay to go on them. There are a lot more beaches in states on the Atlantic coast that are way better than NJ’s and a lot of them you don’t have to pay to get on. To name some . Virginia, North and South Carolina and of course Florida!
Paying to go on the beach is a pain in the ass, I agree. But I don’t think that’s the issue. The issue is the system from the top and that our taxes need to be as high as they are to create a need to charge for the beach in the first place. I’ve been to beaches all over the world and would argue that some of our NJ beaches are among the top in the world. Not most of them but some like LBI definitely are.
@@TheTenHoeveRealtyGroup This sounds like BS. NJ has a $ 212 billion dollar deficit and that's why they over tax everyone for every little thing. It has gotten totally out of hand and people or leaving becuase they are fed up with it all.
Expensive, crowded, crazy traffic, ridiculous taxes, you can’t pump your own gas, attitude really rude. Weather is a consideration, humidity in summer is high, expect icy roads and people who don’t know how to drive in icy conditions. No new jobs in Monmouth county because of low corporate growth.
I had to go to Roanoke Virginia with my granddaughter after my Husband died. I from new jersey and I am homesick. I can't wait to go back to new jersey. I don't care what anybody said above jersey it's my home.
Did you know there actually isn’t an exit tax? It’s a withholding that you get back when you file your taxes the next year. There’s no tax for leaving the state.
@@afterdark6822 LOL. Yes as kids we joked about the Hackensack River. I go back to Hillsdale and feel the same way although not with apartment buildings, just a lot of new houses. Change is inevitable, but keeping that a Jersey character is important. Down where you are the market is really challenging like you said. That’s why I love Monmouth. It still feels like Jersey but with a bit more “space”.
@@TheTenHoeveRealtyGroup At least prior to the pandemic you have viable options if you wanted to move to another state but with the way the country is going you really have to know the area you are moving to and that's if you can even afford it. I've been looking at Delaware for a while since my mom moved down there seven or eight years ago. Specifically the Rehoboth area. The only problem is there are no tech jobs down there.
@@afterdark6822 true and the no sales tax thing is a bonus. But with tech jobs, could you work remotely? We have a good friend who’s an agent down there. When you’re ready will you let me know so I can connect you?
@@TheTenHoeveRealtyGroup I work in Edison at a data center so I have to be there physically but I am eventually shooting for remote work. I will let you know when I am ready to make a move.
@@TheTenHoeveRealtyGroup I was born in New Jersey but more south of you in Atlantic County, I’m thinking of moving a bit more north but wanting to stay on the coast if possible so Monmouth County fits the bill for me!
@@alexanderowen3227 we’re in Colts Neck and if we moved within the county I think it’d be Manasquan or Spring Lake/Sea Girt for me. What about you? Which town are you thinking?
@@alexanderowen3227 all great choices. We have a new place coming on in Shrewsbury. Let me know if you’d ever like to connect on a call and discuss a move up North…
Ya done good ‼️
Good advice

LOL you’re not wrong there! You haven’t been to New London, CT, where they use English double decker buses?

Jersey is always your home! Want us to send a care package of Pork Roll, a bagel and a great slice of pizza? anything else?
Jersey is the
Ast place on earth I would go back to. Horrible
ITS GARBAGE
Go back and see why you left. You can never go back it's never the same.
I agree NJ is the armpit of the country. Overtaxed, overrated, and the people are so provincial in their thinking.
No worries, the thought never crossed my mind. Been there, no thanks.
Not for everyone. What part did you visit? What was your least favorite part?
Overpriced overpopulated. Hell. .
Dont move to Jersey you will regret it and if and when you leave they will charge you and exit tax.

@@TheTenHoeveRealtyGroup SAME thing.

I’m with you. I loved growing up in Bergen County but being this close to the beach wins, all day!
Bergen County is garbage.
Yeah right u can only use the beach for 3 months. Not enough.
#jerseystrong
You made it half way! Thanks for watching! Did we miss any reasons not to move to Monmouth County?
Whatever I live in Monmouth county
Me too
Poor people , do yourself a favor and expand your horizons. The world doesn't revolve around new Jersey .
I can't stand New Jersey.
Fair! But what do you hate most?!

Yes! Were you born here?

@@TheTenHoeveRealtyGroup For me personally I think a great fit in Monmouth County would be Shrewsbury, Lincroft, or Colts Neck.
