As a person who grew up in Cranford, it's not the ex-New Yorkers that are driving the price up. It's a beautiful community, lovely downtown and shops, easy access to Manhattan (and anywhere else you want to get to with NJ Transit), good school systems and low crime. It has nothing to do with ex-New Yorkers. It has to do with it being a great place to live ... and the law of supply and demand.
