Hi There! Welcome to City Mouse blog. I’m a NYC professional who lives in a 2 bedroom loft in downtown Jersey City, NJ with my husband and toddler son. I’m SO in love with my city. I’ve been a resident for over a decade, and have persuaded many friends and colleagues to settle down here as well. From the eclectic mix of restaurants and bars, to my super fast commute to the office, Jersey City is really my heaven on earth; a gem of an urban oasis if you will.
BUT…(of course there is a but)…I’m sad to say that my family is outgrowing the city. We’re pretty much fed up with having limited space and rowdy 25yr old neighbors. Also, my kid is so accustomed to concrete that he doesn’t like grass. I know, I know!
So alas, ’tis time to hunt for a home in the suburbs. Follow my family’s journey as we narrow down which town, neighborhood, and home fits us best. We’ll explore all that northern New Jersey has to offer, and will definitely have some fun along the way. Hope you enjoy!
