Newark New Jersey
Located in the heart of New Jersey's Gateway Region, Newark is approximately 8 miles west of Manhattan near the Atlantic Ocean on Newark Bay. New Jersey is referred to as the “Garden State” because of its farms and fresh produce, and retirees will enjoy the breathtaking gardens and arboretums, especially when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Population: As of the 2010 Census, Newark had a population of 277,140 people.
Climate: Newark has cold winters and very warm to hot, humid summers. Proximity to the ocean has a moderating influence on the climate. Newark receives 43 inches of rain per year and has snowfall of 27 inches.
Cost of living: As expected from a big east coast city, the cost of living in Newark is 32% greater than the national average.
Housing costs: Retirement homes are approximately 22% higher than the U.S. average, with the median home cost around $272,600.
Colleges and Universities: The closest opportunity for quality learning in retirement is the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rutgers University’s Highland Park campus, approximately 22 miles from Newark.
Transportation:With a complex of air, road, rail, and ship traffic, Newark is a significant gateway into the New York metropolitan area and the northeastern United States. Its Liberty International Airport is the fourteenth-busiest in the United States.
Travel and tourism: As New Jersey’s cosmopolitan center, Newark has a rich trove of appealing destinations featuring international fare, major league sports, first class entertainment, cultural riches, living history and bustling shopping. Some of its main attractions include the Prudential Center, New Jersey Performing Arts Center, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium, The Newark Museum, and Newark Symphony Hall.
