West New york and Union City (Lyndhurst, Rutherford: school district, pros and cons, to live in)

[h1478971]

Any information on how good these towns are?

I am wondering what are the pros and cons of these 2 towns.

Are they good for raising a family of 3 children? Are the towns helpful for families to live in?

They are very urban, Spanish is the primary language spoken there, and the schools aren't so fantastic. That's basically it in a nutshell.

Part of West New York down the cliff in the gold coast (port imperial area) is pretty swanky but expensive and public school district is still bad. If you are looking for more suburbanish towns with good public school district, you can take Union city and West New York out of your list.

No none at all. U know the answer because 10 of your posts are about illegal immigration. This is known as being a troll, when you know the answer and try to get the masses fired up. My view is send them back if that what your looking for.

basically they are ghetto towns. if you can, get a place in weehawken.

I would try North Bergen instead if you're raising kids. It's north of West New York.

I wouldn't. North Bergen isn't much better, that's a myth that it's a nicer version of Union City. It probably is, but Union City is so nasty, you don't have to try too hard to be better than it. You may want to try Secaucus, Lyndhurst, or Rutherford.

Seconded. North Bergen is bit better than Union City and West New York but not that much better. N.Bergen is also one of those towns with nice areas down by river road but not so great areas on the cliff.

OP. Fyi, North Bergen HS ranking doesn't go higher than 270 or 280s out of 300 some odd HS in NJ. You can google the info yourself for exact ranking.
