Butler, Old town
Boonton, Ideal location close to all highways, small town feel with a down town area.
Ringwood, only house with a decent commute
Hardystown, I hate that area.........too built up in all the wrong places, typical NJ questionable relationships between politicians and builders. Too many people, too much traffic |

Thanks , really dont get the Hardystown statement, because the house she is looking at has no town, its right off 23 and we did not see anything but woods. She figures she would drive to oakridge for shopping. Is there a town in Hardystown??? We saw only SIlver lake exit. Thanks

all are rural out of the way areas, not the worst, he'll have to learn to read a map and figure out how to do it via local roads there are no direct highways unless he comes down to 287 and the goes up to 17 then 17 south, which is round about but shouldn't be congested except for maybe 17 |

I would pass on Boonton. Not loving the way the town is looking these days.

I knew this a few days ago when you first posted it, but I didn't say anything then. (I figured it out) Congratulations to you and your husband. As Tahiti says, life is too short to have misery in your daily life, irrespective of location. It comes down to your family, first and foremost, or people over places. |
