Our most important criteria are:-
Good schools (our kids are 13 and 10)
Very low crime rate
Friendly neighborhood
Reasonable commute to Jersey City (1 hour or less)
Ideally good commute to Parsippany (second office) - happy to drive for this
Lastly good local restaurants etc
Towns that we have seen so far (either through recommendation or searching) that we like are:-
North Caldwell & Essex Fells
Basking Ridge
Bergen (Ridgewood or Glen Rock)
Thank you in advance for your help

Jeff,
I know North Caldwell is a nice and very expensive area....also you might want to check out Livingston, Florham Park, Parsippany and Chatham if your pockets are deep enough. Basking Ridge, Ridgewood and Glen Rock I do not know much about.
With your budget of $4k you should be able to find a nice place in Morris County...are you looking for just an apartment or a one family house to rent.
Where in England are you coming from and why the move?...my parents still live there..!!
Best regards
