This is a really stupid comment. Outside of some parts of Newark and East Orange, 100% of NJ within 30 minutes of Manhattan is safe, and the vast majority has real estate available at the 400k level.
There are so many towns where this is true it would be easier naming the towns where it wouldn't be true (Alpine, Cliffside Park, and one or two others). But basically any random town (from Fort Lee to Palisades Park to Ridgefield to Lyndhurst to Leonia) will have real estate at the 400k level, and will be safe with decent schools.
