[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the part of NJ.  I love towns like Montclair, Millburn, Maplewood, and Chatham.  They have older downtown walkable areas and great commutes.  Taxes are extremely high though.  [/quote]

ITA, these towns are really cute and have nice main streets, that make VA suburbs look like complete strip mall dumps that they are, even Arlington.  Architecture in NJ towns is much nicer than around DC, even when it comes to older homes.  With that said, all these towns PP mentioned, which I am also familiar with would be out of OP's price range anyway if she were to move to NJ.  Comparing Edison to more affordable parts of NOVA and MD, I'd go for NOVA or MD.  Overall, DC area is less congested and crowded than NYC area, even though the traffic is bad, it is not nearly as difficult to get to the center of the city to cultural amenities from DC burbs than it would be to go from NJ burbs to Manhattan.  I've lived in both and find DC area more livable, just because it's less people overall and there are no tolls![/quote]
