My husband and I are looking at areas to buy a home. Any thoughts on Vineland as far as schools, people, taxes, anything would be helpful. TIA
Re: Thoughts on Vineland ?
Large school district. At a glance many of their school report cards have me thinking it is not a desirable district.
My first thought was that I wouldn't recommend the schools there. I didn't really have any specific facts to go on, so I looked up their report cards online.

dh and I honestly looked to build a new home down there... but were really hesitant. Like a pp said, when I think of the area as a whole, I cringe. It's just not a desirable area. I always think of the fact that they have a 3% tax rate.. not a good sign.. know what I mean?
I think there are some really nice pockets, but the bad areas/crime/issues outweigh the good.
I'm from Buena, which is a neighboring (and smaller) town to Vineland. Like pp's, Vineland does have decent areas, but the school district isn't too desirable. There are private schools..Ellison, Sacred Heart, etc..that you could consider.
Buena is a very nice town and there are a few new developments and houses going up. The school district is, I would say, really good compared to others in the area.
Good call! I live in Franklinville, which is about 10-15 mins from Vineland, and I wouldn't recommend it.
