My question is: We are looking for a single-family home in a family-friendly town. Which train stations/Towns on the NJ Transit lines have a commute that is 1.5 hours door to door to job in Bushwick area Brooklyn? (Would have to take M Train from Midtown Manhattan)

Details:
Homes in the 350-425k range
Commute time: 1.5 hours door to door via train
Property Taxes: $10k or below
Towns: If you list a town, what are the best neighborhoods in the towns? In my research, one neighborhood could be safe, a few streets over, not so safe.

Alternatively: What bus routes that drive into port authority. Is there resource (website) available?

Must have: Walking distance to train station (less than .5 miles)


Any guidance would be much appreciated! Thank you again.

You could probably get this in West Orange. The SE part is close to highland avenue station in Orange which is about 30 minutes or so to NY penn. May be hard to find taxes under 10k but it may exist.

You could also accomplish this in bloomfield near the grove street Newark light rail stop.

It does, but Highland Avenue and Mountain have mostly very slow locals.

You could also get a place near the Arena and take the 77X, but the taxes will be higher than 10K.
