I may be getting transferred to Rahway for work and have done some research on the general area, but I was hoping some well informed locals could give me some more ideas. Looking for the usual--nice area, good schools, family friendly. Oh yeah, my budget isn't large (for NJ standards, anyway).
I've been looking at East Brunswick, Marlboro, Manalapan areas. I can't afford WWindsor/Plainsboro... Anything else I may be overlooking?
Rahway itself has some nice residential stately homes, not kidding.

If you look in the Milton Lake section of Rahway, you will see some very stately homes. How many of them might be for sale is something that I do not know, but this is a neighborhood that you might want to investigate.
Thank you both for the reply. My only concern with Rahway is that I've heard the schools there are not the best. I know people are probably too obsessed with all the different rankings, but I do want the kids to go to a safe, solid district.

Unfortunately the school district is a disaster. Needless to say, it is not as safe as Woodbridge, thus prices reflecting the market's perception of the area. On the other hand, Rahway has such a beautiful stock of older homes as you previuosly mentioned. Additionally very convenient.

So then you are better off going to Woodbridge or Clark. As much as I love the character and scenery of Rahway, I would not buy there. In addition, if you ever have to relocate or move, it'll be to get rid off the house. If I were you, I would look for a smaller and inexpensive home in say Cranford, Clark, or even Scotch Plains. Just a suggestion!
