homes under or around 500k????

[GQ22]

With the way nyc is so rediculously overpriced, is there any neighborhood in jersey or upstate with a good school district and decent commute that is still affordable?

4 - 5 bedrooms in central jersey are running @ $650. Just a little out of my range.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Anywhere close to city in NJ is very expensive. 2 BR condo goes for $400+, edgewater or newport are like $500+. If you are looking for 4 to 5 bedrooms and decent commute, it's going to be hard to find one around your budget

Goodluck.

What's the furthest your looking to go? I moved to Orange County 3 years ago. I drive into work everyday (Battery Park) takes me an 1:05 in the morning and about and 1:30 in the afternoon. Sometimes it does take longer never more than two hours, except for certain holiday Fridays, then it can three hours. That's only happened a couple of times.
School districts are very good. Taxes are a pain.

How`s the traffic on L.I.???????

here's a house across the street from me that's up for sale. The school district is one of the better ones in NJ. The only downer is the property taxes in NJ.

You should speak to kris (that's his MR screen name, real name Ken). He's a realtor in the north Jersey area. I'm sure he can help you.

CG22,
Shoot me a pm and I would be happy to discuss. There are lots of areas in NW NJ that I work in that would fit your needs and budget. I would be happy to discuss.
Thanks,
Ken
