Don't mislead people. If your property taxes are 6K in Cranford you are living in a very small home with a market value of well below 400K, which gets you nothing in Cranford. Look at recent home sales and the public tax records (all available on Zillow). Even houses sold in the low to mid 300s see taxes up to 10K.
Taxes in Cranford are pretty standard for Union County. For a house around 500K you can expect to pay between 11-14K, on the higher end for an updated home.
I commute from Cranford to NYC every day. The commute is pretty good for the burbs, but going to midtown is a pain. Much better if you commute downtown near World Trade and can switch to the PATH at Newark.
