Our top moving tips when moving to New Jersey
Some of the benefits of moving to New Jersey include a healthy lifestyle, great schools, open outdoors spaces and no shortage of things to do. There are some other differences to be aware of before you move to New Jersey.
- Traffic circles and traffic congestion. It’s worth learning how to drive through traffic circles if you’re coming from New York City where you don’t have to navigate them. With such a large population in a relatively small area, increased traffic is to also be expected especially during peak periods.
- You have 60 days to change your licence and vehicle registration to your new home state. Once you’ve unpacked and settled in, be sure to visit a motor vehicle agency (NJ MVC) with the right ID and pay your application or permit fees.
- Weather extremes. New Jersey sees some harsh winters and hot, humid summers as well as marked variations between the northern and southern regions of the state. While all 141 miles of the Jersey Shore line make it a tourist destination in the warmer months it will give you loads of options when you want to hit the coast. If you’re not a beach person, the Passaic River in Newark is an alternative for a boat ride or riverside walk.
- Tax differences. You may have just purchased your new home and discovered property taxes in New Jersey are the highest in the country. But there are other variations including a raft of state tax increases it’s worth asking your accountant about once you’ve settled in.
- The classic side of Jersey. We all know about Atlantic City but what about historic spots that date back to George Washington and the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War? Allaire, Basto, Millbrook VIllage and Clinton are great places to start exploring the state’s rich history .
- A great place for education and leading universities. Princeton is home to old time shopping villages, historic monuments and the Ivy League research University that’s one of the oldest in the country. Rutgers University has multiple campuses in the area and is one of 5 in the state recognised in the QS World University Rankings.
