But we are wondering the same thing about the schools. With the majority of the city being singles aged 25 to 35, does Hoboken really have a bright future for education for our kids? We are seeing that there are not many spaces in any of the schools, public or private. We hope it gets better, we don't want to move to the suburbs. Anyone with any insight into the current and/or future school situation here? thanks! Hello,

Anyone with any insight into the current and/or future school situation here?

thanks!

I'm also from Princeton so you know first hand the kind of suburban living I'm talking about. You are right, Hoboken <i>will</i> have to invest in their school system if it is to keep the families here. Let's hope they do; I'd love to have the option of both school systems to choose from. Maria,

I have been living in Manhattan the past 2 years with my husband who is from the Long Island area but has lived in the city for 10 years. I lived in Hoboken 2 years ago, for about 3 years. Well, I am happy to say that we are moving back to Hoboken in a couple of months and just bought our first home here. I think that eventually it will be necessary for Hoboken to put more money and support into the public school system. The average income in the area is above the normal median salary of most parts of this country. I believe that parents are the most important part of what a child eventually becomes, and I dont think it matters whether those values are taught in Manhattan, Hoboken, or Princeton New Jersey. Sure, the nature vs. nurture is also important to consider, but most of it starts at home. I would be happy to raise my family here and hope that many more families start to. I think that it will eventually turn out that way, considering the high costs of owning a home within close proximity to the city. Hi there
