My husband may have a new job opportunity in Livingston. He's willing to commute up to an hour to work. I have two small kids, and one has autism. So schools are important (esp special ed in public school). I read that there's an elementary school in Basking Ridge that would be great for him, problem is we can only afford rent between $1600-$2000 month. We realize that this probably means a small 2 bdrm condo, but would love to find a small house with a backyard for them to play in. Any suggestions on towns I should look into that are safe, good schools, but more affordable? Seems like a lot of areas in north Jersey are very expensive.

There is a community called Montville Chase in Montville which is a 20-25 min. ride from Livingston and while it is a condo complex, they do have rentals. Montville also has good schools.
aren't the schools in livingston sufficient? why not live in livingston, or a town close by, and rent?
There aren't any apartments in Livingston. Well, there is one, but it is for 55 and over. Renting a private house or condo would probably be out of the OPs budget.
I think Livingston is too expensive for us. Also when it comes time to buy a house someday, probably couldn't afford to stay there.
