Search the sub. You'll see that almost EVERY "I'm moving to NJ" post comes with "we want good schools and a short commute."
Also: maybe rent for a year before buying.

Check out fair lawn. 600k won’t get you a mcmansion there but should you get a decent starter home and the schools are very good with a diverse population. Best, the radburn train runs express in the morning and will put you into penn within 45-50 minutes. Worst part is the transfer in Secaucus

In NJ, most schools are pretty good and well documented.
NJ is a funny place with diversity; there are places with excellent cultural diversity and places with excellent economic diversity; there are almost none with both.
Your mode of transportation matters when considering where you work in the city. If you’re uptown, find a bus terminal since the vast majority of commuter routes take you to the PA bus terminal. If you’re downtown, look for a train line that takes you to Hoboken where you can hop a PATH train or Ferry. If you’re midtown, look for a train that gets you to Penn Station. Few actually works around Penn Station, so while popular, it’s mostly a way station to other points.
Your price range is decent, but probably won’t get you walking distance to a train station in one of the bigger towns. I recommend you look at towns along major commuter bus lines if you’re uptown. Passaic county highlands and surrounding area is a fave since it has an express bus terminal in town, the schools are good, and you can get that classic Americana style housing there. A lot of NY expats either love it or can’t handle it. Their brains tend to melt at mountain forest communities with lakes bears and bald eagles everywhere.

Thank you for the photo while keeping your distance from these beautiful animals.
What we have here my fellow New Jerseyan's is a fucking Harbor Seal.
Some fun facts: 1.Evidence of their presence ... is consistent with both the fossil record as well as a few landmarks named for them during colonization: Robbin's Reef, off of Bayonne, New Jersey, gets its name from the Dutch word robben, meaning "seals". 2.Protected species in the sense it is illegal to hunt or harass them in the United States. 3. I think they are super cute.

Check the regs. I know some states say you can’t be on the phone, even hands free with a provisional so I’m guessing no

I bounce back and forth between USA and Philippines but haven't spent much time in NJ for the past decade (although I'm from there). I am about a block away from Jollibee here in the Philippines hahah. Had no idea they made it to NJ. I knew they were in Hawaii and California

Lol yeah there's one in Edison. They were so slammed their drive-thru was closed. We went in and they said it was a 30 minute wait and people laughed at us when we walked out without ordering. Jollibee's like a cult, swear to god.
