I haven't seen Montclair mentioned. I think that would be a good choice as well. In your budget Fair Lawn probably is the best bang for the buck as far as the combination or schools/commute/nice area. Oradell is also nice, but a bit further north. Ridgewood is beautiful and has great schools but pricey. I never cared for the Rutherford area frankly but it would probably be the best overall commuting wise
But how is the commute to Hackensack or midtown???
