My husband would love to relocate to this new community, however I am very reluctant. So far the people living there are not my type and I would love raising my children in a torahdige environment. Maybe I'm wrong about it though.

Does anyone have information or know anyone that bought a house there? I would love to learn more about it.

How about spending Shabbat in the community? Talk with people, see what the shul is like, ask specific questions about the schools. Of course, no one will say that they are "not Torahdige" but you could see how well you fit in. We visited multiple communities before deciding where to move. We're not chassidish so maybe things work a little differently, but in my experience there is usually a community hospitality committee to help set up these "pilot trips." Generally, we stayed at one family's house, and had meals with two others, who would also invite several guests, so we could meet quite a few families.

Just based on what I read on other threads
There are no schools or infrastructure in Linden
You have to bus your children to BP.
Its about 45 minutes each way. Not too bad

Linden is in NJ. There is a modern orthodox community already there. Fairly recently Chassidim started moving in. They made a men's mikvah and have their own minyan.

I am only familiar with the MO community. I just know that there is a chassidish community starting.

I know a few people that moved there or are moving there. They are all chassidish people there. Since you have't described yourself , it's hard to know whether or not they're your type. The people that I know are all torahdik-and some are very chassidish, Rabbi Rottenberg, the Kossoner Rav was involved in starting this community.

It;s about ten minutes from Staten Island and the people commute for school and work.

The Kossoner Rebbe from BP is the one moving to linden. He's considered by all to be a very Choshuver Rebbe, real Oved Hashem who just wants to serve Hashem far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
But definitely very frum in a Chassidishe way. OP, if your not Chassidish I don't know if you"ll like it. Find out more about it from Kosson

All the Rottenbergs are like that being that they grew up in the Bronx.
It's cute to see how a Rebbe in a gold bekitche uses expressions like "Rome wasn't built in a day"
