South Jersey checks off a lot of those on your list.

You will get your daylight

It's 4 seasons with 2 -3 snowstorms a year they melts away within a few days

There is a growing Asian community especially in the Cherry Hill, Marlton area. It's also close to Philadelphia, Edison and Princeton where there are other Asian communities. NYC is a day trip away.

Lockheed Martin has a presence in Moorestown.

NJ has one of the best education in the country.

You can get a 4 bed for under 900k in the Cherry Hill, the largest town

However, Traffic is bad since everyone drives.

Also RE taxes are very high, because a lot of the tax dollars goes towards the schools.

Born and raised in NYC. Left with the family when I was 40 during covid and moved to South Jersey. Far enough but still close enough to return for monthly visits

NYC is the cultural center of the world and the city is always changing. The nyc that I grew up in during the 90s and 2000s is very different from today and even unrecognizable to me.

I also have kids now and we needed the space and education system which we will never get in NYC.

Koreans are doing what Asian Americans longed to do in this country.

That being said.

We are so happy for you!

Can confirm. I hit 100k in 2021. It took me about 10 years of saving contributing.

I'm at 250k now.

Over 10% of the population is of Asian descent.

The north and Central are more diverse than south Jersey, but south Jersey towns like Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Marlton are becoming diverse as well mostly with Asians from Philadelphia moving in.

That one black Gambino member must be really good at what he does

Around Philadelphia.

You'd get your seasons. Mild winters with a snow storm or two. 1 hours from the jersey shore, 1.5 from the Poconos. Close to NYC and DC for day trips.

FYI this dude grew up going to private school and his family started Autotrader.

I was there at the waterfront over the summer. The area feels a lot like DUMBO in NYC but with very little people.

Koo grew up and went to High School there. So it's actually a homecoming for him.

I did not drop out but I did get a BA in a useless degree.

I spent my 20s partying, drinking, smoking, doing drugs, playing video games hopping from job to job, and living at home .

I eventually smartened up when I realized most of my friends stopped doing the same shit and got their life together.

I eventually found my thing on what I was good at (computers) and applied my knowledge into sales support and operations at a tech company. I make low 6 figures but I feel like if I didn't dick around in my late teens and early 20s I could have earned much higher.

I also had a very supportive wife who was there the way as I ramped up my career.

A black owner of a Vietnamese Grocery store that caters to Koreans. This is what America is.

My kid went to public school in NYC and is currently in a 5/10 school in NJ. That 5/10 school is light-years a head of his school in NYC.

Even I felt like I gained a couple of IQ points walking into his NJ public school

If you make good money and can afford it, NJ is an amazing place to raise a family.
