Alpine is a very small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 1,844 people and just one neighborhood, Alpine is the 438th largest community in New Jersey.
Alpine home prices are not only among the most expensive in New Jersey, but Alpine real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
Alpine is a decidedly white-collar borough, with fully 98.15% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Alpine is a borough of managers, professionals, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Alpine who work in management occupations (31.84%), sales jobs (12.36%), and office and administrative support (10.82%).
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.39% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Alpine is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The borough’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Alpine’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
In Alpine, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 37.06 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit.
Despite being a small borough, Alpine has a lot of people using the bus to get to and from work every day. Most of these people on the bus are using it to get to good jobs in other cities.
