    "Long but pleasant commute. Ferry transport to NYC is expensive, but clean, safe, and comfortable. Driving is a bit of a hassle due to being so far east but also not terrible. Living in Rumson is worth the commute."

    "I have lived in Rumson (The Bubble) my whole life. It's called the bubble for a reason, it's very safe and clean, only thing is that it is NOT diverse in any way and some kids are brats because of how used to the affluence they are."

    "Rumson an old established community with excellent schools, beautiful estates as well as smaller homes. It's a place where everyone either knows you or someone you know. It's minutes to the beach and has river views on the North and South of the area. Ocean is to the East. I have family who has lived here for over 60 years and would never leave this town!"
