Iselin section of Woodbridge township borders north Edison (“best” are of Edison) and has what you need except it’s congested.
It will be congested everywhere until you go down to West Windsor (Mercer I know)/plainsboro. Once you get down that way it opens up a little bit. Brutal commute to Newark though.
South Edison - 08817 is more affordable than north Edison - 08820. Not as nice (smaller lots, “worse” schools but that’s not a concern for you)
I love metuchen - nice downtown and great commute to city and Newark with the train right there. Not sure if you could find a move-in ready SFH for $600k but if you can, that’d be my choice.

Yes. You’re better off staying in Jersey instead. Your Uber to and from the concert will be much cheaper as well (if this is something you might plan to do)

Depends on if there's train service to the Meadowlands that day. If there is, then it's not a big deal, but if not, I'd recommend staying in NJ.

I recommend using Google Maps to look up relevant retailers -- ethnic grocers and clothing stores, religious institution, etc. Ethnic restaurants may be relevant or not, depending whether they cater to all or mainly to the ethnicity. I recommend this approach because it's quick and easy.

It’s better to stay in NJ every night of the year so whatever day you concert is would be no exception

Commenting on people’s appearances is creepy, my friend.

There are no mistakes in style and art. It's all subjective. However the same could not be said about your conception.

If school district is not an issue, Plainfield’s sleepy hollow area is great. taxes are Lower than most towns mentioned, you’ll get a really nice house for that kind of money and the Train station is less than a mile away, it’s a 30 commute to Newark.

Saying mullets are usually ugly is creepy. That's pretty funny

You could just let people dress or look how they want. It’s way less creepy.

Here’s the link, they update it closer to the concert date with exact train times. From NYC, you’d change in Secaucus to a MetLife bound special trains.
Returning, you’d do the reverse, there’s shuttle trains every 10ish minutes to Secaucus, then you take any NYC-bound train back into Manhattan. You will likely wait at the MetLife station with other fans, so be prepared. Each train carries roughly a thousand people, every 10 minutes, so it depends on your artist’s popularity and whether a lot of other fans are going back to NYC. There’s usually good customer service helping you make the transfer at SEC.
The main problem with staying in NJ is that you’re competing with tens of thousands of fans for cabs, and then for road space. The nearby hotels on Rt 120 are geographically close but really not at all walkable to MetLife (unless you like walking on the side of a highway and entrance ramps without a sidewalk or shoulders).
I’d suggest staying around midtown, there’s lots of hotels there. There’s also decent options in the Long Island City/Queensboro Plaza area of Queens, and in downtown Brooklyn.
