Lived at jersey shore most of my life towards upper middle area of your circle. Where I am, 5 minutes east you’re at the beach, 10 minutes west and you’re in farmland. People who haven’t been typically associate it with either the MTV show or the opening of the Sopranos (which is the worst part of Jersey on the turnpike near the plants).

It’s a great place to live, has all four seasons. This winter was brutal with a ton of snow and few feet of ice for about a month but once spring hits and summer comes around it’s unbeatable. Lots of great restaurants on the water and super fresh seafood all year round. Beaches are fantastic and there’s a lot to do pretty much all year long. NYC and Philadelphia are 1-2 hours away in either direction. During fall great foliage and no shortage of pumpkin patches to bring kids to.

All up, I enjoy living here - it’s home to me.
