Hello all! My boyfriend and I are looking for a house in NJ. We're looking for somewhere with not a far commute into the city, and pet friendly! Something along the lines of a town like Metuchen, Hoboken and Jersey city aren't for us. We like quiet but a hint of a nightlife where we can go out to eat with the pups or just out for a drink after work. Eventually we want to have children so a great school system would be a plus! Thank you for all the help!
Maybe Westwood or Rutherford? Both have train stations, some good restaurants, pubs, buses.
Montclair would fit into this also. But you should answer some more questions first. Check out this list, then we could probably help you narrow down your search!
*Read this list so you are aware of what should be included if you are moving from out of area and coming to New Jersey.
Where are you coming from?
Why are you moving?
Where will you be working ? If NYC, what part of NYC?
Will you buy or rent?
What is your budget ?
What kind of place are you looking for ?
Will anyone (spouse, children, pets) be moving with you ?
Do you need/want good public schools?
Briefly describe the kind of neighborhood you'd like to live in
(examples: families with young children, young, mature, artsy, diverse, safe, close-knit, block parties, etc)
List three things that are important to you in order of importance.(examples: nightlife, outdoor activities, rural/urban, safety, downtown area, charming, new construction, proximity to XYZ, family oriented, easy parking, short commute, etc)

Jersey City is nothing like Hoboken. I don't understand why the two are always lumped together. It's like saying Maplewood and Irvington are not for us. Not trying to get on your case just can't stand when people do this.
Woodbridge would work, and is convenient to both Manhattan and Princeton.
