[designbykhalid]

Hi Everyone,

Need your help guys.

I am looking to buy house in South Plainfield NJ and wondering what part of southfield is good? and since I work in mid town Manhattan I will be commuting on daily basis to NYC so how long is the commute and how can I get to the transportation?

Please let me know I will much appreciate.

I lived in SP for 23 years on the Edison side of town.

I took the train from Metro Park with no problems.

Park Ave. to Oak Tree Road to Metro Park. In the evening I took the local streets thru Edison to avoid Oak Tree Road.

South Plainfield can be quite nice, but your commute won't be short. I commuted from Metuchen and lived 2 minutes from the train, and my door to door to midtown was 1 hour 15 minutes including subway time on the Manhattan side. If you have to drive to the train station, figure another 15-30 minutes for parking and whatnot. If you are lucky enough to work right next to Penn Station, then you can shave a good 15 minutes off of that time.
