Open to both.

$600k max if buying, $2500 if renting.
What kind of place are you looking for ?
2 BR, 2 BA is enough. Open to both condos and individual houses. Interested in recently built or renovated units with open design, high ceilings, all hardwood floors.
Will anyone (spouse, children, pets) be moving with you ?
Spouse and daughter. Daughter will start elementary school next year.
Do you need/want good public schools?
Yes. Looking for schools that are ranked at least 7 out of 10. Need something where all schools (elementary, middle and high) are good. Not interested in places where only elementary school is ranked high.
Briefly describe the kind of neighborhood you'd like to live in
(examples: families with young children, young, mature, artsy, diverse, safe, close-knit, block parties, etc)
Good schools, families with young children, safe.
List three things that are important to you in order of importance.(examples: nightlife, outdoor activities, rural/urban, safety, downtown area, charming, new construction, proximity to XYZ, family oriented, easy parking, short commute, etc)
Good schools. Commute less than one and half hour. Prefer bus commute as I can walk to work from PABT.
Maplewood,Westfield,Montclair,West Orange,New Providence,Edison,Summit. You could even check out Millburn and Chatham but their low end Housing (buying + renting ) is at your high end budget.
Check out the Pascack Valley Line towns - River Edge, Oradell, Emerson, Westwood, Wash Twnshp, Hillsdale all have access to express bus service and fit your price and school needs.
If you want to get further from the Bergen county sprawl, the Wayne/Pequannock/Montville area are worth a look. Good express bus options out of the Wayne park and rides (local routes as well) and good school systems.
