There will be no place in Delaware or PA that is less than 90 minutes commute, and when the weather is bad count on a 150 minute commute from those places.
Sorry to say 350K to 375K is not much of a budget for a New Jersey home that has your other wishes.
I was showing 2 bedroom 1.5 bath condos last week in Parsippany which would be your less than a 1 hour commute. These condos were priced 350K to 400K and they were not luxury condos.
It would be possible to do a fixer upper or needs updating 3 or more bedroom in some towns such as East Hannover, Parsippany, Denville, or possibly Morris Plains.
You are likely finding that New Jersey is much more expensive than Richmond VA, but commuting from PA or DE is simply not realistic in the long term.
