You're welcome.

Just my opinion, but if you plan to have kids, it would be a good idea if one parent is reasonably close, in case something happens during the work day.

The places that we mentioned in South Jersey are all very nice towns with good to excellent schools. If you want to skew north & you're priced out of Princeton, check manderly's suggestion, but also ask on the Philly board about Bucks County towns.

Sure. Great suggestion. We will make sure one parent works nearby.

There are a number of good options in Bucks County. I worked in Philly for many years & I never heard a litany of complaints from co-workers in South Jersey or Bucks County.
