PODS Moving & Storage North Jersey

Depending on who you ask, North Jersey could be anything north of I-295 and I-195, everything north of Exit 10 on the New Jersey Turnpike, or only the region north of the mouth of the Raritan River. Regardless, the northern part of the state is characterized by a humid continental climate. This region is also heavily influenced by New York City, given its shared border with New York and its proximity to what’s known as “The City That Never Sleeps.”

New Jersey's Department of Tourism has divided the state into six regions. Of those, two make up North Jersey: the Gateway Region and the Skylands Region. The eastern Gateway Region is named because of its ties with New York City. Many people who work in NYC choose to live in the North Jersey suburbs and commute. The western Skylands Region, on the other hand, contains 60,000 acres of state parkland with mountains, hills, lakes, and rivers.

If you want to keep out of any heated sports debates, remember that one of the biggest differences between North Jersey and South Jersey is which teams they root for. While northern residents typically favor teams based in New York City, southern residents often cheer on Philadelphia teams.
