I work in Parsippany, and my wife works in NYC.
I would like to purchase a home in Belle Mead (Montgomery township).
Belle Mead is a fantastic place to live but only if you work nearby. Listen to everyone and look elsewhere! With the long commute for both your wife and you, you guys would be coming home just to sleep.

it's very rare for everyone to agree in a thread, so when we do, the OP better damn listen!
Princeton suburbs are hopeless. It is by design, geography of the area, history or population is contributing, I do not know. Quite often (have been doing for last 15 years), I have to travel from South Brunswick to North side of Princeton and my advice is to avoid the whole area if convenience is a factor.
Now that does not mean, it is bad idea in general considering you get good value for your money, get excellent school system, low crime, beautiful landscape, particularly around great road in Skillman. But if commute bothers you or you work in city, avoid northern suburb of Princeton. If you do not believe me or other posters, you are in for unpleasant surprise. Traffic problem in the area is as certain as crime problems in Camden. This is not just opinion, checkout yourself on map how can someone get out of that country side. Oh please disregard rt 206 as it is joke on state highway. As if one lane is not good enough to screw up anyone outsiders passing through "their" town, they have police checkpoints (just south of 518/206 junction), what a joke. I feel for people waiting on south/east bound roads, once a month I see 2-3 miles of stopped cars on rocky hill road (of course if you are lucky to have road open, laurel avenue is out of service more often than DirectTV)
