I'm tired of high property taxes, high car insurance rates, a government that shows no ability to control costs, winter. A house that's $450K in NJ is $150K in many other areas of the US and even with lower salaries I can still live a better life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Property taxes - $2,000. / 4 bdrm, 3 bath, near the ocean. Car insurance - $ 650.00 yr. Mild winters / lower fuel bills. MUCH less traffic. Cleaner air. Y'all come see us, y'hear.

Some folks I know from Harrison live in Fla. and get together yearly to talk over old times. If there's enough of us in the NC/SC vicinity maybe we can do the same....let me know.

Guest Guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Kearny is no longer an affordable place to own a home. The town has nothing or little to offer for the cost to live there. People I know are either getting out before their kids go to school or just waiting for the kids to graduate so they can get out. Simple as that. What is the reason to stay? The school system is mediocre at best, the streets are dirty, Kearny Ave. is a disgrace (or laughable) I can't decide which but the trash collection is good. So people are leaving, not hard to figure out why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking at Wilmington on one site but the crime rate seems to be thru the roof. How about insurance to protect your property from hurricane damage?

I moved out 3 months ago to lower property taxes, cleaner streets, cleaner air, less violence, neighbors I could speak to in my language... English. It just got too much for me, and I was tired of living in another country... I too grew up in Kearny, and was very sad to leave, but you know what ??? I love my new neighborhood, and will never go back. Kearny is a has been. Such a shame.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a college town (UNC) with no more crime than any other city it's size. Homeowners insurance is the one thing that's expensive here, $1500. a year. But I save that much on my winter fuel bills.

Costs are not as expensive either, however finding work can be a problem. The largest employer in this area is Camp LeJeune and as you know the government doesn't pay well at all. But the ocean is only 3 miles away and the hurricanes haven't really caused too much damage over the past years. Property on the ocean are very costly, but mainland properties are very affordable.........good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
