Is there a reason you’re looking in JC if you’re working in East Orange? That commute could suck with the traffic.

South Orange has a bunch of rentals and a brand new one that looks really nice, but they are charging JC prices for it. My wife and I are in the process of moving from JC to SO (we bought)

Ah yeah, that’s a bitch to get to from anywhere. SO would just make that more complicated even with the midtown direct.

Also known as Maplehood! ;)

South Orange is aweseme. I *really* like that town, and it is weirdly convenient for commuters into NYC with two NJT stations and express trains during the morning commute rush hours. Also, lots of amenities and great restaurants in Maplewood, or a few minutes away in Millburn, Montclair, etc. You chose a great place to move.

Lol we were looking in both and my realtor kept calling it Maplehood (I joke and say I’m on the good side of the tracks). The hood won’t kill us but the taxes will…

We’re actually smack on the border of SO and Maplewood, so a mile from each downtown which is great.

It’s funny how there’s so many people in both towns who decamped from Brooklyn, Hoboken and JC.
