[flipper32]

We are considering moving to the central NJ area Princeton etc. What towns are the worst for real estate taxes and which are better? I noticed that the area is close to 3 counties Somerset,Hunterdon & Mercer are one of the counties better than the other for taxes?

I posted this before but you probably haven't seen this. It'll tell you the property taxes in the tristate area.

Normally, the better the school district, the higher the property tax, as about 65% of property tax going to school ...
