Lived in both.

Went from NJ to DC/ VA suburbs back to NJ.

NYC suburban culture is much more laid back.

Less traffic, better food and more space in NYC suburbs.

Thanks ! Of course I haven't lived in either, so my assumptions may be completely wrong.

What about schools and safe towns? I have a toddler, in a few years he'll be going to elementary school. What are some good towns in North Jersey that you can recommend?

There are tons of amazing towns and school districts in NJ especially NNJ . These are the top of the top:

You have to figure out first where in NJ you want to live. Living in the Summit area (NNJ) for example is very different from living in the Tenafly area (also NNJ).

Can’t speak on that as I have not done research on schools. Sorry
