[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just in Montclair, NJ and it's a super cute town! Not what I expected at all. I have no idea about logistics of commuting from there though.[/quote] taxes are crazy. Do not underestimate that when you are thinking of where to move. You can also look at Westfield, which has great schools but horrible taxes. I'd look at Mountainside. It is next to Westfield so you can commute on the train or take a bus to Port Authority. Schools are good, taxes are lower.[/quote] I just moved here from Westfield and it’s really not commutable anymore. We’re talking 2 hours each way on the bus to Port Authority on a good day. And NJTransit is not giving the orange train line towns a direct ride anytime soon, so I would recommend the green line towns over Westfield/Mountainside/Scotch Plains, etc. I lived in Summit for a bit before we bought in Westfield and the commute was more like an hour and fifteen door to door to the Murray Hill section of Manhattan. PS the DC commutes are amazing!!! [/quote]
