Living in New Jersey

New Jersey’s population density can make the state seem like it’s wall to wall people everywhere you go. But bustling cities like Newark, Hoboken, and Trenton are stark contrasts to the farms and orchards of New Jersey that give it its nickname of the Garden State. Depending on the season, you can indulge in freshly picked blueberries, corn, lavender, cucumbers, and Jersey’s famous tomatoes.

If you’re looking for ways to unwind in nature, start by visiting any of the 11 state forests. You can hike, bike, kayak, fish, camp, ride horses, and much more. New Jersey is also among the best birdwatching states in the country.

The Jersey Shore region is another big draw for locals and visitors alike. From the casinos and nightclubs of Atlantic City to gorgeous Victorian homes in Cape May to the live music acts that perform at the famed Stone Pony in Asbury Park, the Shore has something for everyone.

All of these features come at a price. The cost of living in New Jersey is about 11% higher than the rest of the country, with housing and utility costs at 30% and 10% higher, respectively. On the bright side, nurses tend to earn more in NJ than in other states. The median household income in New Jersey is just shy of $100,000, compared to the national median of nearly $78,000.
