I am so happy I moved here, and I felt right at home from day one! There is also alot of history here, and a real pride of community in Kearny,

Kearny is minutes from everything imaginable for work and leisure. I work in New York City, and the commute is fast and convenient. The job opportunities are plentiful. There are dozens of major corporations just a quick drive away. Living in Kearny, I am very close to many year-round activity.
