Moving to Millville

I recently moved to Millville, NJ. I purchased a brand new home. I grew up in the Cherry Hill area, then moved to FL, now back to NJ. My community consists of about 72 homes, costing between 240,000 to 320,000. Now that is purchase price on a 1/2 acre lot. Very nice. About half of the residents are some kind of law enforcement, there are department of correction officers, state troopers,local law enforcement office(Atlantic City, Vineland, Brigheton)as well as federal agents, so needless to say our community is very safe. Millville is a huge city so of course there are some bad area, but the city has a revitilazation program and so far so good. And for being so big you still have that small town feel, everyone knows everyone.
Well, I really like it here. The center of town is very cute, it has that New Hope feel, if you know what I mean. The 3rd Friday of every month every is open late and its like its one big party. People walking around, shopping and stopping for a drink at The Oar House and maybe dinner at Oliver Twist.
Millville is the "holly city" and is known for the glass making, and believe me some of the pieces are so beautiful and cheap. And they always have something going on, either an air show or a craft show. They Y here is very cute too, and cheap. I have 2 small children 6 and 2. I love the elementary school, Holly Heights. Teacher actually talk everyday with you and my son loves it there. So, as you can see I like it here and where I moved from in FL I was a police officer and I can tell you there is crime every where even in those upscale areas of the county. The criminal can drive ya know. In my opinion Millville is a great place to live and have your kids grow up.
