Start with the towns along the Route 78 corridor. That will provide the best option for getting into downtown Jersey City. Many of the towns along the corridor have good schools. You should be able to hit your targets for price and taxes, although the taxes for nicer townhomes are likely to be closer to $8,000 than $5,000.
Once you locate some towns, go to
www.gsmls.com to look up properties. The Garden State MLS website has the most up to date information on current listings. Other sites may be a few days behind.
