We will be moving to NJ soon from Chicago. My wife work location would be in Ramsey and mine would be in Bridgewater, NJ.
We are a small family with a little daughter. I am wondering if you guys can please suggest places to live in between, and possible commute to Bridgewater and Ramsey from there during the peak time.
I am more inclined to reduce commute for my wife as she would be picking and dropping my daughter from the daycare.
All highways in NJ are packed during peak hours. Some are packed all day, everyday. Unfortunately we have a lot of traffic.
Towns along 287 would be ideal for both your commutes.
Will you be renting or buy? What type of budget are you working with?
Appreciate your reply. Is 287 pretty backed up during the peak hours?
Yes, 287 is backed up during peak hours but north of Parsippany/I-80 it is not too bad. Parsippany is a fantastic town and has easy access to both 287 and 80. Wayne though good is a bit remote and no direct access to highways. What you might want to consider is use a daycare closer to your wife's workplace, instead of having it close to home.
Think of a box
Ramsey at the top-right
Bridgewater in the Bottom left
In the top-left, is Morristown, Parsippany, Pompton Plains area.
In bottom-right, as a choice, would be say Westfield, Cranford area
From top left, pick along I-287,
would commute South to Bridgewater down 287
Commute to Ramsey, east along I-80 or maybe north/east along 287 parallel state line in NY
Both commutes in the hour +/- , especially in rush hour
Bridgewater has major highways running thru and close to it.
Ramsey, not so much, more buried in suburbia and hills
