Reply to comment by DavidPuddy666 in Moving to Jersey City from UK by BerryFit3491

I’m from South Orange originally. I always thought that Maplewood had more going on, but I haven’t spent significant time in the area since 2008 so maybe things changed or my memory is wrong

Things have flip flopped a bit. All the new apartments in South Orange have meant SO has gotten younger and more hip, while Maplewood’s NIMBYism has meant it has just gotten older and wealthier. The trajectory is not dissimilar to how Hoboken has gotten wealthier and stuffier (RIP Maxwell’s) while Jersey City has became more culturally relevant.
