That area around Summit is becoming way too congested. Rt 78 and 24 are a nightmare around rush hour. Try the Mountain Lakes area around 15 miles north west, much less congested, same access to public transportation and more affordable.
Go rural. Cheaper than the big cities and every one is much affordable.
That’s looked down upon from Manhattan though and a $1 million is nothing - no wonder they see wealthy suburbs in a good light.
True. I live in NJ, I hear how congested it is.
I’m in Mt Olive and sit on the hell that is I-80 every day. Mtn Lakes is no great commute either unless 287 traffic is your cup of tea. NJ in the ‘70s and ‘80’s was a great place to grow up. Small towns, mostly conservative and really great people, contrary to our rep. Today it’s mostly resembling a 3rd world hellhole with Riviera prices. I’m 47 and if i play my cards right I’m out of here in 15 years. Question is where to go. 10 years ago I’d have said back to CO but not now. Really anywhere but here tho.
