I cannot wait to move from Brooklyn to NJ and, therefore, have the following advice to ask from you guys - what would be some examples of the best place to live in NJ?
I work in midtown NYC and currently consider two areas to move to - Union and Bergen counties. The towns in question are: the Roselles, Cranford, Linden, Westfield, Clark (Union) and Fort Lee, Teaneck, Hackensack, Leonia, Ridgefield (Bergen). I don't know much about the 2 areas but I like the fact that there are lots of coops/condos [that I prefer] near Fort Lee and Hackensack. Are there any disadvantages in towns and counties that I mentioned? In terms of crime, school systems, etc. how different are they? Are there better alternatives within the same distance from NYC?
What is it like to commute from Union county (railroad) and Fort Lee area (bus, i think?) How safe is the bus terminal at 180th st in NYC?
