Agree that you should begin your own thread.

Where in B'klyn. do you work?

If you work in Canarsie, for example, than your commute is different than if you work in Brooklyn Heights.

Rutherford is one of the closest to NYC and one of the quickest commutes, best school systems , best restaurants , and walkable town. If you can't see NYC then you are very far away.

If you did a search you would know that Rutherford is frequently mentioned on this forum.

Rutherford has some bigger houses too. If you want to walk to restaurants and stores, then houses tend to be closer together. Schools are in top third of state, on train line (30 minutes to penn station)
