You can drive to NYC in 45 minutes without traffic from most of the Bergen county. But the problem is that there is always horrible traffic during rush hour, typically between 7:30 am to 10:00 am and 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
But it is very hard to guarantee that you will always be friends with your neighbors in any town. Especially in a wealthy/upper middle class town that your price range will buy you. For that, you really need to buy a house next to your friends or family.
So true-- there are no guarantees in life! I have visited friends in maplewood nj who had incredible neighbors and I loved that. H oping for same!,
When you say close enough to drive to nyc - do you mean on a daily basis, as in commute to/from work? (and if either, then what part of the city). Or do you mean to drive in occasionally for dinner or touristing.
I shouldn't be contributing to a zombie thread, but to the OP's point of Cresskill being half-Korean - you do realize the Northern Valley area (Tenafly, Cresskill, Demarest, Closter, Norwood, Northvale, Old Tappan, Harrington Park) is nearly 25% Korean and increasing? It has the 3rd largest Korean community in the country outside of LA and the Fort Lee/Pal Park area.
The Ridgewood/Glen Rock area also has a smaller, yet growing Korean population as well (schools are around 12%, doubled in the last 5 years).
All in - not sure why you're worried about "fitting in". Honestly, it just sounds like you're uncomfortable around or having your kids befriend Asians.
