Colonia, NJ is a Great Place for Everyone To Live User Rating 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Colonia, New Jersey is an awesome place to live, mainly because you won't find nicer people anywhere. This is a place where folks actually care about each other and work to keep the community nice, safe, and a good place to live for everyone. The schools here aren't the greatest, ...Read More but everyone is coming together as a community to work on that and make a difference for our young people. We have plenty of housing here for anyone interested in lining in Colonia, and the weather is pretty decent all year long. Lots of jobs too, for any and all who are interested.

We like to have fun around these parts, and we have some of the best areas in the state to visit: The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, Kidz Village, Rug's and Riffys Bar, Hailey's Harp and Pub, and Rocky's Bar and Grille, just to name a few. There are also a lot of beautifully maintained parks to visit and enjoy. Read Less
