I'm a jersey girl (south jersey) who has been living in the deep south for 11 years. I'm contemplating a move back to NJ - although I love the weather and hate snow, the south just ain't cutting it for me anymore.
I would be commuting to midtown NYC. I need a commute that runs about an hour by bus. I have read decent things about Nutley - something about the Route 3 express puts you in NYC faster - can someone explain what bus line and stop that is?
I don't see much on North Bergen - any input?. I'm going to keep my home in the south and rent up north - I can afford about $2000 a month - would like to rent half a house or something that has a yard and driveway - is that possible? Other than North Bergen and Nutley - what else would you recommend? I would like Weehawken and West NY but think I can't find the kind of space I could have in Nutley.
Appreciate everyone's input - it's going to be 70 degrees this weekend - too bad I don't like it down here anymore.
to Manhattan with many modes of transportation and buses galore. Also has a downtown area with restaurants, and night life so you don't need to leave town if you don't want to. Great parks if you are a walker or jogger. Great schools too.

Most towns have trains or buses to the city. I used to live in South Bergen County (Lodi). Garfield, Lyndhurst, and Rutherford have train stations nearby and lots of 2-family rentals. I moved to Central Jersey, Middlesex County, and there are train stations in just about every town with less than an hour commute. There is more chance of driveway and property, too. Lots of rentals, lots of apartment complexes.
You sound so much like me. Both my husband and I are from NJ but he took early retirement and we headed south...to The Outer Banks, NC (so far away from civilization and I95), to Savannah (the humidity is worse than any winter, believe me...plus we had a yard crawling with snakes and other critters), and then to Culpeper, VA (the nation's most decaying town for any kind of culture).
I am wanting to move back to No. Jersey when the market is better...we lived there when we first got married...it's changed, I know, but I want to get into Manhattan again...no place like it.
I am not a Southerner, nor do I like its culture much.
I'll be so glad to get back up north.
nutley or north arlington or rutherford is even better train right in town
Throw in Lyndhurst.
