With a Korean population nearing a quarter of the total, Fort Lee has evolved into a bustling Koreatown, complete with 130 Korean-owned businesses and a thriving cultural scene. However, the borough's 40,191 residents also face the perils of bureaucratic headaches, with the infamous Bridgegate scandal highlighting the political maneuvering that can impact daily life. And while the climate may be mild, the density of the area - over 13,900 people per square mile - can feel claustrophobic. Overall, Fort Lee offers a dynamic, metropolitan experience, but one best suited for those who can navigate its complexities.
