[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't forget about the other side of the Hudson.

Rockland is like a quainter Gaithersburg  or Sterling (basically just out of metro line area) But with less industry (very few Corp jobs).  It has a falls-church sort of feel.  Rockland was a refuge for b-list celebrities looking to hide out if they wanted lower key than Fancy parts of Westchester. When I was a kid, I used to baby sit for the kids of Semi-famous musicians, soap opera stars, pro-athletes. That was decades ago.

Bergen county is a step up - like N Bethesda or nicer parts of Reston/Fairfax. There is more industry and jobs.  Nicer stores and houses.

Of course, Hoboken is Arlington (Roslyn-Ballston) with a heftier price tag.[/quote]

Arlington is like Hoboken only because it is across the river from the city and attracts a younger demographic.  Otherwise they have nothing in common, as Hoboken is older and grittier and has lots of Italians and Puerto Ricans.  Arlington is just plastic and bland.[/quote]
