Expat Advice: Living in Wayne, United States
What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?
Wayne
What activities, clubs and organizations would you recommend to newcomers to help them meet others?
Wayne has several lake communities that have their own organizations ranging from "Yacht Clubs" to "Mothers' Clubs" and many others. If you do not feel like joining clubs, you can meet many people relaxing/jogging around the lakes and/or parks.
In terms of religious, racial, economic and cultural diversity, are the people of this city or town diverse? Are they accepting of differences? Describe.
Wayne is a typical white upper-middle-class town. Their is not much diversity compared to many other North Jersey towns/cities but slowly you can see diversity finally moving in with some black/hispanic/gay families who take advantage of the beautiful area.
What are the main industries in this city? What types of career opportunities commonly exist? How do most people find new jobs?
Headquarters of various companies are located in Wayne but many commute to work in nearby Manhattan.
If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.
I would highly recommend Wayne to family-oriented people! The schools are great, the town is safe and clean, and some lake areas such as Packanack Lake and Pines Lake prove to have a very upscale suburban feel to it which many transplants from Manhattan love. While Wayne has many areas for shopping/dining around town, it lacks a quaint distinct "downtown" like nearby Ridgewood has. But to be surrounded by aesthetically pleasing lakes and beautiful homes in such short proximity to Manhattan makes it feel worth it!
Moving to United States soon?
