Hi,
I planning on moving to NJ by the end of the year from Europe. I’ve never been to NJ so my trying to get as much info as I can before hand. My Husband will be working in Hoboken and we have two young kids (5yrs- 6yrs).
We don’t want to live in Hoboken itself, but somewhere nearby that has a community feel with good schools and lots to do with kids both all year round. I wound appreciate any info .

Probably the most important detail for anyone giving you recommendations is your housing budget, and we don't know that information. I suggest that you copy & paste the questions contained in the "sticky" that appears at the top of the NJ Forum, and then post your answers to those questions in your current thread.

Take a look at:

Hoboken has a lot of transit options, so that's a good thing.

There's New Jersey Transit www.njtransit.com

And, Light Rail New Jersey Transit

And, the PATH (Port Authority Trans Hudson) trains. (Their website is down.)

This wiki page shows the NJ Transit lines that go into Hoboken. New Jersey Transit Rail Operations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You can look at each line's map & schedule at www.njtransit.com & see what towns are on that line.

If you live on a train line that goes into Newark, than he can switch for the PATH train to Hoboken at Newark. It's always nice to take as few trains as possible though.

Budget is the # 1 key to where you will live.

Also American or Spanaird, based on your writing I assume your American so you know about insurance and other stuff...

If I had a chance I would gladly switch Jersey for Spain.

How well they speak Spanish is another question!
A professional translator once told me, "Not only do these people not speak good English, they don't speak good Spanish!"

Yeah, but ask any UK English Professor about Americans speaking English sometime.

NJ's cities have plenty of Spanish speakers. If your English is good enough and you can get a NJ teacher's certificate, you can teach ESL. ESL is English as a Second Language. It's for those kids off the boat from Central & South America who know little or no English.
