New Jersey Location help required (New Brunswick, Livingston: how much, neighborhood, schools)

[rhyman]

We are considering moving to New Jersey from London England but are not familiar with towns. We want somewhere green, within say 1 hour train to Manhattan and a Jewish community (not Charedi) for our age group 60 years of age. Can anyone please suggest locations and helpful realtors. Thanks

Hi! The NY metro area in general has a pretty high Jewish population as compared to other areas.

How much are you looking to spend on a home?

I would recommend Bergen County in general for the greenness and neighborhood feel and for the 1-hr. limit into NYC. If you can give an idea of how much you have to spend, I will name a few towns that I feel you might like.

A few suggestions would be Livingston, Short Hills or maybe Marlboro. All fairly pricey, but nice towns.
Good luck.

Don't forget towns like Caldwell, Millburn, Verona etc. pretty expensive but nice still

Greater Highland Park area has many Jewish communities, churches, schools ...etc. and New Brunswick train station is eash access to NYC.
