Where in nj? Not many gated communities in northern nj, they are more in the south. Northern nj has wealthier towns that don't really need to be gated, they are exclusive enough to just be able to buy there.

There is also Vizcaya but I don't know for sure if they are actually gated or not.

Or as the residents of Rahway will tell you: That's Avenel, not Rahway

Yup!

While the mailing address for the prison is in Rahway, the prison has always been located in Avenel, which is part of Woodbridge Township. In fact, the name of the prison--public misconceptions notwithstanding--is NOT "Rahway State Prison", and it is actually named East Jersey State Prison.

My sister used to work in Rahway hospital's ER, and every so often they'd get a patient from the prison who needed medical care beyond what the prison infirmary could provide. One morning she came home and said that night they'd gotten a prisoner in lying flat on his stomach because he had some sort of homemade knife sticking out of his back. They couldn't remove it at the prison because it was too close to his spine. He laid there for hours while they looked at him and tried to figure out how to remove it, and finally decided to send him up to St. Elizabeth's in Elizabeth where they had a better chance of getting it out without cutting his spinal chord.

Pretty tough to get in.

You need 3 current homeowners to sponsor you, be either Irish or Italian and I think put over 50% down on the purchase.
